The Beautiful Universe: Chandra in HD

It's time to take a cosmic road trip using light as the highway and visit four stunning destinations across space. The vehicles for this space get-away are NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope.

A new study using NASA's Chandra and ESA's XMM-Newton reveals that the interiors of neutron stars may contain a type of ultra-dense matter not found anywhere else in the Universe.

A study with Chandra and XMM-Newton indicates which stars near our Sun could have habitable exoplanets around them based on whether they receive lethal radiation from the stars they orbit.

Westerlund 1 is the biggest and closest "super" star cluster to Earth. New data is helping astronomers delve deeper into this galactic factory where stars are vigorously being produced.

Astronomers studied 16 supermassive black holes that are firing powerful beams, or jets, into space. They found that about a third of these have changed directions by large amounts.

Eruptions from the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* may have created an exhaust vent attached to a "chimney" of hot gas blowing away from the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

New movies of two of the most famous objects in the sky — the Crab Nebula and Cassiopeia A — include X-ray data collected by Chandra over about two decades. They show dramatic changes in the remains of two massive stars in our galaxy.

A new project provides special 3D experiences on Instagram using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes through augmented reality (AR), allowing users to travel virtually through objects in space.

A brilliant supermassive black hole is not living up to expectations. Although responsible for high levels of radiation and powerful jets, this giant black hole is not as influential as many of its counterparts in other galaxies.

Three new sonifications of images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have been released in conjunction with a new documentary about the project that makes its debut on the NASA+ streaming platform.
