A symphony of space! 🎵 This sonification of the galaxy NGC 6872 translates data from @chandraxray and Hubble into music. Volume is mapped to brightness, and the pitch is related to the distance from the center; the farther away, the higher the pitch:

25 years ago today, Chandra released its "First Light" image of Cassiopeia A — the incredible remains of an exploded star about 11,000 light-years from Earth. Over the last quarter century, Chandra has observed this famous supernova remnant for more than 277 hours! 🎉 #Chandra25

Rho Ophiuchi is a region filled with nebulas, gas, and stars of many sizes & ages. One of the closest star-forming regions to Earth — roughly 390 light-years away — it's a great place to study young stars. This image from Chandra and @NASAWebb is about 0.7 light-years across.

Black hole snack time! A supermassive black hole is occasionally snacking on a star about 860 million light-years from Earth. Scientists correctly predicted when the black hole finished its last meal and have even calculated its future snack schedule!

25 years ago today, a pyrotechnic charge equivalent to an M-80 firecracker exploded, sending a chisel through a bolt and a powerful spring swung open the 120-pound 9-foot diameter door protecting Chandra's delicate mirrors. Cosmic X-rays shined on the mirrors for the first time!

NGC 1850 is a bright, double star cluster located about 160,000 light-years from Earth. Delicate threads of gas (blue), created by previous supernova explosions, are interwoven amongst the stars. This image spans approximately 84 light-years from side to side.

Nicknamed the "Cosmic Cliffs," this region of space is located about 7,600 light-years from Earth in the Carina Nebula. This image combines X-ray light from Chandra with infrared light from @NASAWebb , showing us a blazing landscape of star formation roughly 52 light-years across.

Telescope teamwork ✅ Hubble and @NASAWebb captured the galaxies in this image, while @ChandraXRay detected the superheated gas that these galaxies are immersed in, seen in purple. Called MACS J0416, this cluster of galaxies is held together by gravity:
