The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) is the prime X-ray mission today, consisting of nested sets of circular grazing incidence parabolic and hyperbolic mirrors. Other mission examples include the XMM-Newton observatory, Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer ...

... -- Using the deepest X-ray image ever taken, astronomers found the first direct evidence that massive black holes were common in the early universe. This discovery from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory shows that very young black holes grew more aggressively than previously thought, in tandem with the growth of their host galaxies. By pointing Chandra at a patch ...

For several years Chandra has detected X-ray flares about once a day from the supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius ... a century ago. While this event happened many decades before X-ray telescopes existed, Chandra and other X-ray missions have seen evidence of an X-ray "light echo" reflecting off nearby clouds, providing a ...
