The operating budget for the Chandra Observatory is $70M/year. That’s a drop in the congressional budget bucket — cheaper than a single fighter jet — in return for foundational science. www.savechandra.org #SaveChandra

This incredibly important space telescope is ALREADY IN SPACE, functioning beautifully, and on track to continue delivering astonishing cosmic discoveries for another 5-10 yrs. Abandoning it in space, turning off the receivers, and discontinuing its research would be horribly wasteful. #SaveChandra
Chandra, the space-based observatory that brings us incredible x-ray images of the most extreme environments in the cosmos, is at risk of cancellation. It’ll be a huge loss to astronomy if the mission ends prematurely for budget reasons. Go to www.savechandra.org to find out how to help #SaveChandra

Heading to the airport now after the annual Chandra users committee meeting! For those interested- I think the telescope is legitimately in a better position now than it was a year or two ago, minus the *broad gestures affecting all US science*. Like obv no promises until the gov’t reopens, but…

This is NGC 2090! There are no Chandra archive observations of NGC 2090, so we don't know what it looks like in X-rays at high resolution. Fortunately, our Chandra Legacy Program (PHANGS-Chandra) is scheduled to observe it in February 2025! #SaveChandra
Hold on to your butts because we’ve got ANOTHER beautiful galactic image from JWST! We can see light emitted by dust, gas, and stars with the range of infrared wavelengths JWST is sensitive to 😍

Spent part of this week at a meeting for the 25th anniversary of the Chandra telescope, which waffled between celebratory and funereal. A lot of talks had a #SaveChandra feel to them. Here's one result of many presented that was only possible with Chandra data:

Astronomers detect the first astrosphere around a sunlike star
Finding a bubble of hot gas blown by the stellar wind from a young star gives researchers a peek at what our sun was like when it was young.
