	Chandra X-ray Observatory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chandra X-ray Observatory is a satellite launched on STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999.

	STS-93 Payload: Chandra X-Ray Observatory
		Chandra is the third in NASA's family of "Great Observatories." Complementing the Hubble Space Telescope and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, which are already in Earth orbit, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory will study X-Rays rather than visible light or gamma rays.
		Chandra's twin solar arrays will then be unfolded, allowing Chandra to begin converting sunlight into 2,350 watts of electrical power to run the observatory's equipment and charge its batteries.
		Chandra's observations of superflares from young stars will give scientists a better idea of what conditions were like on Earth when the sun was young.

		Chandra was very frustrated by the controversy with Eddington and to a certain extent it influenced the way that he worked through the rest of his life.
		Chandra retired in 1980 but continued to live in Chicago where he was made professor emeritus in 1985.

	SPACE.com -- Chandra Observatory's Mission Extended to 10 Years
		This Chandra image marks the deepest X-ray look at the zone of avoidance -- a region of space behind which no optical observation has ever been taken because thick clouds of dust and gas in the spiral arms of the Milky Way block visible radiation.
		Chandra image of NGC 7027 is brighter to the upper right -- the side of the nebula nearest the Earth -- where there is less obscuring material that otherwise blocks the X-ray emissions.
		The Chandra data, shown as the blue emission in the inset box, overlays a Hubble Space Telescope infrared image of the same region, in which some of the individual stars can be seen as point-like sources.

		X-ray studies of this system, called Mira AB, may also provide better understanding of interactions between other binary systems consisting of a "normal" star and a collapsed star such as a white dwarf, fl hole or a neutron star, where the individual stellar objects and gas flow cannot be distinguished in an image.
		The separation of the X-rays from the giant star and the white dwarf was made possible by the superb angular resolution of Chandra, and the relative proximity of the star system at about 420 light years from Earth.
		Chandra observed Mira with its Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer on December 6, 2003 for about 19 hours.
