When Chandra is launched in 1999, it will begin an exploration of the
hot turbulent regions in space with images 25 times sharper than
previous x-ray pictures. The example below illustrates how Chandra will
enable astronomers to study the process by which jets of matter are
ejected from supermassive black holes in the dense central regions of
galaxies.
Chandra's improved sensitivity will make possible more detailed studies of black
holes, supernovas, and dark matter and increase our understanding
of the origin, evolution, and destiny of the universe.
