Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 28 November 2025 9.00am EST

During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

A Chandra image release was issued on Nov 24 describing four images that visually connect to the fall season. The images are the star-forming region NGC 6334, supernova remnant G272.2-0.3, interacting spiral galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163, as well as R Aquarii. Each image contains X-rays from Chandra that have been combined with data from other telescopes that detect different types of light. For details see: https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2025/fall/

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below.
