Using the API should also allow you to add a download button to the full resolution images.

KSC-99pc0166. Cradled in the cargo hold of a tractor-trailer rig called the Space Cargo Transportation System, the Chandra X-ray Observatory waits to be moved inside the Vertical Processing Facility (VPF). Chandra arrived at the Shuttle Landing Facility on Thursday, Feb. 4, aboard an Air Force C-5 Galaxy aircraft. In the VPF, the telescope will undergo final installation of associated electronic components; it will also be tested, fueled and mated with the Inertial Upper Stage booster. A set of integrated tes

Here is the distant galaxy cluster known as MACS J0416. The blackness of space is packed with glowing dots and tiny shapes, in whites, purples, oranges, golds, and reds, each a distinct galaxy. Upon close inspection (and with a great deal of zooming in!) the spiraling arms of some of the seemingly tiny galaxies are revealed in this highly detailed image. Gently arched across the middle of the frame is a soft band of purple; a reservoir of superheated gas detected by Chandra.. Here is the distant galaxy cluster known as MACS J0416.

Rob McConnell Interviews - KEVIN ESTRELLE - The Pyramids on Mars
Could ancient structures exist beyond Earth—hidden in plain sight on the surface of Mars? In this fascinating episode, Kevin Estrelle explores the controversial and captivating idea of pyramids on Mars, examining photographic evidence, satellite imagery, and the theories that have sparked decades of debate among researchers and enthusiasts alike. From the famous “Face on Mars” to geometric formations that resemble man-made structures, Kevin discusses whether these features are simply natural landforms—or remnants of a long-lost civilization that once existed on the Red Planet. What do these anomalies really show, and why do they continue to fuel speculation about extraterrestrial intelligence and ancient spacefaring cultures? This episode delves into the intersection of science, interpretation, and imagination. How do we distinguish between genuine anomalies and the human tendency to see patterns where none exist? And if even a fraction of these claims hold truth, what would it mean for our understanding of history, life in the universe, and humanity’s place within it? Join us as we journey millions of miles away to explore one of the most intriguing mysteries in planetary science—where the surface of Mars may hold secrets that challenge everything we think we know about civilization, both past and present.

History of Chandra X-Ray Observatory. At a distance of 6,000 light years from Earth, the star cluster RCW 38 is a relatively close star-forming region. This area is about 5 light years across, and contains thousands of hot, very young stars formed less than a million years ago, 190 of which exposed x-rays to Chandra. Enveloping the star cluster, the diffused cloud of x-rays shows an excess of high energy x-rays, which indicates that the x-rays come from trillion-volt electrons moving in a magnetic field. Such particles are typically

Astronomers have taken a crucial step in showing that the most massive black holes in the universe can create their own meals. Using X-ray data from Chandra and optical light data, this study, based on observations of seven galaxy clusters in total, provides new evidence that outbursts from black holes can cool down gas to feed themselves. Massive galaxies at the centers of the clusters contain huge black holes that power outbursts in the form of jets, driven by the black holes feasting on gas. This image shows the X-ray and optical data of the Centaurus cluster from the survey..

The blue dot in the center of the image is a "cool" million-degree x-ray source where a supermassive black hole with the mass of 30-million suns is located. The x-rays are produced by matter furneling toward the black hole. Numerous other hotter x-ray sources are also apparent. Most of these are probably due to x-ray binary systems, in which a neutron star or black hole is in close orbit ar
