The @ehtelescope released the first direct image of a black hole in galaxy M87. DYK that coordinated observations with 19 of the world's most powerful telescopes, including @NASA 's Chandra, have also collected light from M87 across the electromagnetic spectrum? #BlackHoleWeek ⚫

Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, we're kicking off #BlackHoleWeek with a virtual plunge into the event horizon—a black hole's point of no return:

This timelapse from NASA's @chandraxray features data from 2000 through 2019 of Cassiopeia A - the remains of a supernova estimated to have exploded about 340 years ago in Earth’s sky. Watch the debris field from the supernova remnant, including its blast wave, expanding! 🌟

On a scale of 1-10, rate the Cartwheel galaxy’s neat trick! @NASAHubble , @ChandraXray , GALEX, and Spitzer captured it in multiple types of light, revealing ripples of star formation from a collision with a smaller galaxy. #NationalCartwheelDay

New timelapses of two of the most famous objects in the sky — the Crab Nebula & Cassiopeia A! X-ray data collected by Chandra over about two decades shows dramatic changes in the debris & radiation remaining after the explosion of two massive stars. More:

When seen through a small telescope, this nebula's gleaming-white central star overwhelms the view. However, by averting your gaze a bit, the nebula's dust clouds come into view. This optical trickery earned NGC 6828 the nickname the "Blinking Planetary." What would you call it?

Chandra can observe Earth's X-rays too! In fact, Chandra observed the Earth 10 times over a four-month period in 2004. Some of the X-rays Chandra observed, which have been superimposed on a simulated images of the Earth, are seen here at four different epochs. #EarthDay

Today Chandra is studying NGC 2440, a dying star that's providing a spectacular final performance. The white dwarf star at the heart of this planetary nebula is one of the hottest known, with a surface temperature of nearly 222,000 degrees Celsius (400,000 degrees Fahrenheit).

Can't go outside and watch the #eclipse today? Watch it online through the eyes of @NASA ! Live coverage starts at 1pm EDT: Can't watch online either? Here's a bright, beautiful orb just for you. Planetary nebula IC 418, about 3,900 light-years away.

This view of NGC 1672 combines different wavelengths of light collected by NASA's Chandra, @NASAHubble , and @NASAWebb telescopes. Located about 60 million light-years from Earth, this barred spiral galaxy has huge clusters of hot, blue, young stars forming along its spiral arms.

Not in the path of totality for the total solar #eclipse ? On April 8, we'll bring totality to you by broadcasting from several locations along its trajectory, including @NASAGlenn —our only center in the eclipse’s path. How to watch:
