During the last week, Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. A Chandra image release was issued on Oct 28 with a Halloween- inspired image of the Carina Nebula. This cosmic apparition hosts stellar birth where a new generation of stars is thriving. The new image combines data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope to reveal this cloud of gas and dust with young stars. For details, see https://chandra.si.edu/photo/2026/reaper/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes observations of SS433 coordinated with IXPE. |
