NSN Webinar Series:

Chandra’s High-Energy Universe

TIME:   6:00 PM MST
Join the NASA Night Sky Network where we’ll discuss 25 years of Chandra X-ray Observatory discoveries.
In the past 25 years, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has made profound discoveries and contributed invaluable information about our high energy Universe. Take a tour through some of the most energetic sights to see, 3D prints to touch, and sonifications to hear of Chandra’s discoveries. Starting from stellar nurseries, and moving to exploded stars, black holes, galaxies and clusters of galaxies, experience how we translate information of Chandra’s exciting universe into images, time-lapse movies, virtual reality applications, and even sound.
