Seeing in X-Ray Vision (Glenn Lecture)

On July 23, 1999, NASA launched the Chandra X-ray Observatory into space aboard Space Shuttle Columbia. Since then, astronomers have pulled from Chandra’s data to create incredibly detailed images of some of the universe’s most dramatic events, from supernova explosions to black hole jets. This summer marks the 25th anniversary of a telescope that has given astronomers unprecedented views of the universe in x-rays.
Join us to hear from astronauts who deployed the Chandra X-ray Observatory during the STS-93 mission as well as scientists from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory who analyze the important data sent back to us here on Earth.
