Chandra X-Ray observatory

• a telescope launched into orbit around the earth in 1990 to provide information about the universe in the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet ranges.

• is a NASA spacecraft. It is in space studying the most powerful sources of radiation in the universe.

• a telescope specially designed to detect X-ray emission from very hot regions of the Universe such as exploded stars

• is a sophisticated satellite observatory dedicated to observing the high-energy Universe.

a rocket-launched spacecraft, able to land like an unpowered aircraft, used to make repeated journeys between the earth and earth orbit.

Why do galaxies look different when viewed from the Hubble Space

Telescope, as compared from telescopes on Earth?
