This new trio of sonifications represents different aspects of black holes.

Astronomers have discovered a black hole has torn apart a star in a surprising location.

Astronomers have discovered a likely explanation for a fracture in a huge cosmic "bone" in the Milky Way galaxy, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and radio telescopes.

New three-dimensional (3D) models of objects in space have been released by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. These 3D models allow people to explore – and print – examples of stars in the early and end stages of their lives.

People often think about archaeology happening deep in jungles or inside ancient pyramids. However, a team of astronomers has shown that they can use stars and the remains they leave behind to conduct a special kind of archaeology in space.

After tracking a puzzling X-ray signal from a dying star for decades, astronomers may have finally explained its source: the old star might have destroyed a nearby planet.

A bouquet of thousands of stars in bloom has arrived. This composite image contains the deepest X-ray image ever made of the spectacular star forming region called 30 Doradus.

Astronomers have taken a crucial step in showing that the most massive black holes in the universe can create their own meals.

Planets around other stars need to be prepared for extreme weather conditions, according to a new study from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton that examined the effects of X-rays on potential planets around the most common type of stars.

Since antiquity, wreaths have symbolized the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It is fitting then that one of the best places for astronomers to learn more about the stellar lifecycle resembles a giant holiday wreath itself.
