Chandra's First Two Years
Ring of Fire
Located 190,000 light years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy, a massive star exploded 1,000 years ago. What remains is a billion times more oxygen than what's in Earth's oceans and atmosphere.
Burning Bubbles
Located 60,000 light-years away, the two Antennae galaxies collide, and form bright orange, oval-shaped clouds of supernovae gases thousands of light years in diameter.

Night Fever
For this disco-light effect, Chandra sorted a black hole's X-ray emissions by energy level. The image helped scientists learn that matter is crushed into bubbling gas 600 miles away from the black hole.
