Selected Chandra Articles & Media HighlightsThis is a sample of the news coverage the Chandra X-ray Observatory has received during this quarter. To read the story and learn about copyright policies, please visit the individual publication's website or your local library.November 2001 Publication: The Boston Globe (November 26, 2001; Op-Ed page, p. A11) Headline: Disappearing Act Selected Text: Scientists have stared into the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy and found what they believe to be a black hole ... Researchers have long theorized that a black hole exists there -- and at the core of most galaxies -- but had no proof until the super eye of NASA's orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory probed the cusp of what appeared to be in the hole's invisible maw.
Headline: Chandra Supernova Image First sentence: An image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory of a young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant shows what is probably a central pulsar surrounded by outflowing material. Publication: The Sunday Telegraph -- Sydney, Australia (November 18, 2001; p. S01) Headline: Space 2001 -- Beyond the Sun Selected Text: Two of the most sophisticated observatories yet built are Europe's XMM-Newton and America's Chandra X-ray observatories, both orbiting in an unusual ellipse far above the Earth ... October 2001 Publication: New Scientist Magazine (October 27, 2001; page 12) Headline: Stormy Stars Byline: Eugenie Samuel First Sentence: Neutron stars may have weather systems like those on Earth. This novel idea may explain why some neutron stars emit mysterious flickering X-rays. Publication: Washington Post (October 26, 2001; Section T) Headline: A 'universe' of Questions Selected Text: "Explore the universe," a new permanent exhibition devoted to the tools of astronomical observation, opened without fanfare last month at the National Air and Space Museum ... The challenge, as always, is to create a show that appeals both to the expert (without dumbing the subject down) and to the lay person who doesn't know the difference between CHARA and Chandra. The first, by the way, stands for the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy, an array of six telescopes on Mount Wilson near Los Angeles; the second is the name of NASA's orbiting X-ray observatory. Publication: United Press International (October 23, 2001) Headline: Stories of Modern Science Byline: Alex Cukan First Sentences: team of astronomers led by Rutgers' John P. Hughes has made an important new discovery using NASA's orbital Chandra X-ray Observatory. The astronomers have found what appears to be a pulsar at the center of the exploded remains of a 1,600-year-old supernova.
