This anniversary, we celebrate the team behind the mission. Thanks, Chandra team, for all you do!
(Shown here is a group shot of some of the team, past and present, at the party at our Control Center yesterday).

Good morning, it is July 23 here in Cambridge, MA, meaning that today is our 25th BIRTHDAY!
What better way to start this party than a release of 25 images to celebrate 25 years: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/chandra/25-images-to-celebrate-nasas-chandra-25th-anniversary/

We're here at the Main Event of #HEAD21 -- The #Chandra25 Session. We have three talks---by Daryl Haggard, Tea Temim, and Stephanie LaMassa---on Sgr A*, Supernovae, and AGN, respectively. #ChandraScience

It's a full house at #HEAD21 to learn about the Chandra Source Catalog! CSC 2.1 just released last week, and you can access it at https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/csc/. #Astrodon #ChandraScience #XraysAreTheBestRays

Did you catch our recent #ChandraScience image of Abell 2256, a spectacular merger of at least three galaxy clusters? The hot gas components of these clusters is traced with X-rays -- shown here in blue, using data from us (#Chandra) and our ESA-led friends at #XMM-Newton. This cosmic collision is also a source of radio emission, shown in red from #LOFAR, #GMRT, and the #VLA, produced via particle acceleration. For more details, see

For further information, please see the original announcement concerning the anomaly: https://groups.google.com/a/cfa.harvard.edu/g/chandra-announce/c/xU-JkgAD0Vg/m/dqYqcfKwBgAJ; the follow-up from two weeks later: https://groups.google.com/a/cfa.harvard.edu/g/chandra-announce/c/uGepynsSipk/m/cC8GOdNDBwAJ; and the most recent previous update from this September: https://groups.google.com/a/cfa.harvard.edu/g/chandra-announce/c/7O064uJmQ4Y/m/UZiaCU1BAgAJ.
Summarizing these previous announcements: Last February, the HRC instrument was found to be in an anomalous state and was shut down. The issue was traced to the +/- 15 V power supply. #Chandra #ChandraXRay #ChandraScience

An update on the HRC Return to Science. A text version is available here: https://groups.google.com/a/cfa.harvard.edu/g/chandra-announce/c/XfWZdG8juMM/m/LLC1gdvGAQAJ
In short: following the anomaly of last year, science and engineering teams have devised a mode of operations that has been successful for four observations. This involves limiting durations of observing segments to 15 ks. We intend to begin scheduling HRC observations under these constraints the week of 06 March. #Chandra #ChandraXRay #ChandraScience #Astrophysics #Astrodon #Astronomy #NASA
