Astronomers have found an unusual mark from a giant black hole's powerful jet striking an unidentified object in its path.

Normally found only in heavy metal bands or certain post-apocalyptic films, a "flame-throwing guitar" has now been spotted moving through space. Astronomers have captured movies of this extreme cosmic object using NASA's Chandra and Hubble.

Astronomers used Chandra, in combination with ultraviolet, optical and infrared data, to show where some of the most treacherous places in a star cluster may be, where planets' chances to form are diminished.

A massive black hole has torn apart one star and is now using that stellar wreckage to pummel another star or smaller black hole that used to be in the clear.

A galaxy has streams of superheated gas crossing one another. This result shows that "crossing the streams" does not necessarily end in disaster. In fact, it may lead to the creation of new structures.

Sonifications of three images have been released to mark the 25th anniversary of Chandra's "First Light" image.

A team of researchers have made important headway in understanding how — and when — a supermassive black hole obtains and then consumes material.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of its launch, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is releasing 25 never-before-seen views of a wide range of cosmic objects.

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.
