NASA’s Chandra Reveals Galaxies Being Torn Apart, Blasted by Black Holes, and Reborn in Stars
Galaxies can be peaceful star factories or cosmic wrecking grounds, torn apart by collisions and blasted by colossal black hole jets. A new collection of 16 images from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory captures galaxies in radically different stages of their lives. The gallery combines decades of Chandra observations with data from NASA’s James Webb and [...]
X-ray and optical maps reveal how gas flows, superwinds and collisions reshape galaxies
The Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured a sequence of galaxies at varying evolutionary stages, from steady star formation to violent collisions. By synthesizing data from James Webb, Hubble, IXPE, Swift, and NuSTAR, astronomers can isolate specific galactic components: optical light maps stars and dust, infrared reveals gas filaments, and X-rays identify gas heated to millions of degrees, supernova remnants, and active galactic nuclei. Becaus…
