Tour: NASA's Chandra Finds Unexpected Fireworks in Aftermath of Stellar Explosions (06-15-2026)
The aftermath of a stellar explosion should be a slowly fading cloud of hot gas. So when astronomers pointed NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory at the nearby galaxy M83, the last thing they expected to find was a population of supernova remnants appearing to dramatically change in brightness.

Tour: NASA's Chandra Discovers Possible Supernova Remnant in Galactic Center (06-11-2026)
Astronomers may have found a supernova remnant in an intriguing neighborhood in the middle of our galaxy. If confirmed, it would be one of the closest ever discovered to the supermassive black hole at the central region of the Milky Way galaxy.
