A Cleaner Look at Our Galactic Centerâs Hot Mess | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Newswise — The center of the Milky Way galaxy is a chaotic place. In addition to the 4-million-solar mass black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the region is full of gas, dust, strong magnetic fields, and stars in various stages of life – from birth to death. Now, astronomers have released the clearest view yet of the remains of an exploded star that sits amid this cluttered galactic environment. The supernova remnant is named Sagittarius A East, or Sgr A East, and it is the closest to S
NASA's Chandra Unveils Mysterious X-ray Objects | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers found 84 so-called hypersoft X-ray sources in M101, Messier 31, and four elliptical galaxies. This newly-discovered class of objects give off very low-energy X-rays and likely high levels of ultraviolet light. Their existence may help explain questions around Type Ia supernova explosions and the intergalactic medium. This new composite image of the face-on spiral galaxy M101 contains X-ray data from Chandra (purple) and an optical image from the Hubble (red, green, and blue). Newswis
Galactic Gems Glisten in New Gallery From NASAâs Chandra X-ray Observatory | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This new gallery displays a collection of 16 galactic images from Chandra and other telescopes. Astronomers put galaxies into three main categories: spirals like our own Milky Way, ellipticals that are older and likely the results of mergers, and irregulars that can encompass a wide range of galactic phenomena. All types are represented in this new collection. Each galactic image contains X-ray data from Chandra that has been combined with data from telescopes such as Webb and Hubble, IXPE, Swif
NASA Telescopes Create Colorful âCraftâ From Nearby Nebula | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The composite image of the Tarantula Nebula, one of the brightest and largest regions of star formation to Earth, contains X-rays from Chandra in the blue layer that reveal gas that has been blown away in winds from the surfaces of young, massive stars and heated to millions of degrees by shock waves, like sonic booms from supersonic jets. The red is infrared data from Webb showing thousands of young stars, plus swaths of cool dust that will provide the ingredients to one day form new stars and
NASAâs Chandra Sees Black Hole Stirring âPotâ Containing Galactic Potato | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A black hole may be stirring a âpotâ of gas containing a neighboring galaxy in the early universe. This galaxy is located at an intersection where gigantic web-like structures of galaxies and gas meet in the early universe. A composite image shows this galaxy in X-rays from Chandra (blue), optical light data from the VLT (red), and infrared data from Webb (red, green, and blue). Evidence shows that a jet from a neighboring galaxyâs black hole may be keeping the gas around the red potato tu
