In Science News:
My postdoc, Luca Ighina, just published an analysis of a VERY FASCINATING high-redshift quasar. In short, not only is it radio-loud and ___the X-ray-brightest non-blazar at these redshifts___ it seems like it just might be super-Eddington!
Press release here: https://chandra.si.edu/photo/2025/red6/
And, of course, this is a #ChandraXRay result!

Discovery Awaits! Highlights of the upcoming #ChandraXRay Cycle 27 Science Program. From what makes Jupiter's aurorae glow to counting black holes at the dawn of time, there's lots of science to be excited about for #NASA's Flagship X-ray astrophysics mission!
20 MB PDF: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/target_lists/cycle27/DiscoveryAwaits_Cyc27.pdf(And this is a thing that I, personally, have been working on for a spell, so I'm super excited to see the document released).

Chandra and Webb, powerful space telescopes, captured a breathtaking image of NGC 602, a cosmic wreath. Webb’s data reveals the wreath’s ring-like outline, while Chandra’s X-ray images illuminate it with the light of young, massive stars.
NGC 602, located on the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, is about 200,000 light-years away.#SpaceTelescopes #NGC602 #ChandraXray #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #SmallMagellanicCloud #MilkyWay #Astronomy #GoodNews

"The lowest note is a B-flat, just over 57 octaves below middle C; -- at that pitch, its frequency is 10 million years. The lowest note detectable by humans has a frequency of one-twentieth of a second."
"The sound waves were extracted radially outwards from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Perseus cluster, and played in an anti-clockwise direction from the center, so that we can hear the sounds in all directions from the supermassive black hole at pitches 144 quadrillion and 288 quadrillion times higher than their original frequency."

Let's talk about how We can increase funding for Science programs like:
#NASA, #NASAJPL, #chandraxray#NASAWebb was 7x oversubscribed by scientists in 2024.
Science needs more funding!
Let's make the USA like Star Trek Again.

Fantastic imagery from the various space telescopes. The latest to celebrate the Chandra X-ray telescope's 25th anniversary.
My favourite has always been M16 (the Eagle Nebula) - first was the image from the Hubble, but every iteration since then has still held fascination for me...

La mission est actuellement en prolongation de 3 ans de 2024 à 2027. Mais les opérations scientifiques de #ChandraXray pourraient être terminées plus tôt que prévues à cause de coupures de budget de la NASA.

#OTD in 1999, the Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off with the heaviest payload ever sent to orbit on the STS -- the #ChandraXRay Observatory. Soon after, Chandra was deployed from the Cargo Bay and boosted to its final orbit via the final Shuttle-based launch of the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS).
