Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Discovers Possible Supernova Remnant in Galactic Center (06-11-2026)
Astronomers may have found a supernova remnant in an intriguing neighborhood in the middle of our galaxy. If confirmed, it would be one of the closest ever discovered to the supermassive black hole at the central region of the Milky Way galaxy.

Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Releases Deep Cut From Catalog of Cosmic Recordings (01-23-2026)
Like a recording artist who has had a long career, Chandra has a "back catalog" of cosmic recordings that is impossible to replicate. To access these X-ray tracks, or observations, the ultimate compendium has been developed: the Chandra Source Catalog (CSC).
