  1. 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.
    La campagne #SaveChandra a été montée par des astronomes pour la sauver [4/4]

  2. I have a Love/Hate (mostly Hate) relationship with the Ars Technica comments section, particularly where space is concerned, but it's heartening to see this pro-#ChandraXRay comment sitting on 94 updoots to 0 downdoots on the Hubble Gyro article.

    It has been a bit disheartening the past three months to worry about our healthy, productive, and unique mission being terminated abruptly, and so it's good to see the public is getting that message.

  3. Has your institution reached out about having a speaker from the @ChandraScience Observatory talk about #Chandra25? We give great talks, and we're happy to travel! #Astrodon #Physics #Astrophysics #XRaysAreTheBestRays #ChandraXRay #SaveChandra

  4. I just learned that there's a movement because the Chandra X-ray Observatory might need saving from budget cutting.

  5. I just signed the #SaveChandra petition on savechandra.org for the reasons below. IMHO: #Chandra is up and running and until a substitute does the same or Chandra dies in orbit, I wouldn't change it (read about the "death spiral" in the link!)
    I am not part of any #xray collab, my view is from the outside. But based on my work on #galaxyclusters #ChandraXRay has always been super helpful in understanding odd-looking cases and gaining new insights!
