New timelapses of two of the most famous objects in the sky — the Crab Nebula & Cassiopeia A! X-ray data collected by Chandra over about two decades shows dramatic changes in the debris & radiation remaining after the explosion of two massive stars. More: s.si.edu/timelapse24
When seen through a small telescope, this nebula's gleaming-white central star overwhelms the view. However, by averting your gaze a bit, the nebula's dust clouds come into view. This optical trickery earned NGC 6828 the nickname the "Blinking Planetary." What would you call it?
Chandra can observe Earth's X-rays too! In fact, Chandra observed the Earth 10 times over a four-month period in 2004. Some of the X-rays Chandra observed, which have been superimposed on a simulated images of the Earth, are seen here at four different epochs. #EarthDay
Today Chandra is studying NGC 2440, a dying star that's providing a spectacular final performance. The white dwarf star at the heart of this planetary nebula is one of the hottest known, with a surface temperature of nearly 222,000 degrees Celsius (400,000 degrees Fahrenheit).
Oops I did it again 🤭 #TotalSolarEclipse
Can't go outside and watch the #eclipse today? Watch it online through the eyes of @NASA! Live coverage starts at 1pm EDT: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024Live Can't watch online either? Here's a bright, beautiful orb just for you. Planetary nebula IC 418, about 3,900 light-years away.

This view of NGC 1672 combines different wavelengths of light collected by NASA's Chandra, @NASAHubble, and @NASAWebb telescopes. Located about 60 million light-years from Earth, this barred spiral galaxy has huge clusters of hot, blue, young stars forming along its spiral arms.
Not in the path of totality for the total solar #eclipse? On April 8, we'll bring totality to you by broadcasting from several locations along its trajectory, including @NASAglenn—our only center in the eclipse’s path. How to watch: go.nasa.gov/3vAvTbo
Exoplanet or eggsoplanet? 🥚 Some planets are so close to their stars that not only are their atmospheres stripped away, they're being pulled and stretched into an egg-like shape! go.nasa.gov/49iVRxT
In the year 1181, a rare supernova explosion appeared in the night sky. Ever since, scientists have tried to find the supernova’s remnant. A contender was discovered in the last decade: Pa 30 (pictured here from ESA’s XMM-Newton and @chandraxray). MORE: go.nasa.gov/43JUebq
In the year 1181 a rare supernova explosion appeared in the night sky, staying visible for 185 consecutive days. This new image allows us to marvel at the same object that appeared for our ancestors more than 800 years ago. More: s.si.edu/snr1181
Scientists using Chandra have identified a brilliant supermassive black hole that's not living up to expectations. Located about 3.4 billion light-years from Earth, H1821+643 is having much less of an impact on its surroundings than expected. More: s.si.edu/h1821
Celebrate the 25th anniversary of @NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory with us this year!🎉 Chandra is at the forefront of so many discoveries — what wonders will come next? Learn more at: chandra.si.edu/blog/node/874
Supernova remnant E0519 was left behind after a massive star exploded about 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Roughly 30 light years across, this expanding shell of debris contains multimillion degree gas that glows brightly in X-ray light.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! 💚 With a bit of luck, those near the poles could catch a glimpse of an aurora triggered by solar activity. Our Sun's activity levels don't stay constant, and as we move toward a solar maximum—set to peak in July 2025—we can expect more auroras.
NGC 3576 is a region of glowing gas located about 9,000 light-years from Earth. Intense radiation & winds from massive stars are shredding the clouds from which the stars formed, generating many of the fascinating shapes seen within. This image is roughly 50 light-years across.
Using @chandraxray and other observatories, scientists turned data from a galaxy, supernova, and nebula into sound. Known as sonifications, this process gives us fresh new ways observing the universe: go.nasa.gov/3Tqa7jK
