Stellar forensics with striking new image from Chandra
A spectacular new image shows how complex a star's afterlife can be. By studying the details of this image made from a long observation by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers can better understand how some stars die and disperse elements like oxygen into the next generation of stars and planets. View More (2007-10-24)


'Survivor' Black Holes May Be Mid-Sized
New evidence from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton strengthens the case that two mid-sized black holes exist close to the center of a nearby starburst galaxy. View More (2010-04-30)



Sweeping X-ray Imaging Survey of Dying Stars is 'Uncharted Territory
The death throes of dying stars are the focus of a sweeping new survey using NASA's Chandra X-ray satellite observatory. View More (2012-10-11)


MSU contributes to new research on star formation
"Crazy" and "cool" are two of the words Michigan State University astronomer Megan Donahue uses to describe the two distinct "tails" found on a long tail of gas that is believed to be forming stars where few stars have been formed before. View More (2010-01-25)


A star's death comes to light
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have created a stunning new image of one of the youngest supernova remnants in the galaxy. This new view of the debris of an exploded star helps astronomers solve a long-standing mystery, with implications for understanding how a star's life can end catastrophically and for gauging the expansion of the universe. View More (2007-01-10)


New panorama reveals more than a thousand black holes
By casting a wide net, astronomers have captured an image of more than a thousand supermassive black holes. These results give astronomers a snapshot of a crucial period when these monster black holes are growing, and provide insight into the environments in which they occur. View More (2007-03-13)


X-ray Discovery Points to Location of Missing Matter
Using observations with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton, astronomers have announced a robust detection of a vast reservoir of intergalactic gas about 400 million light years from Earth. This discovery is the strongest evidence yet that the "missing matter" in the nearby Universe is located in an enormous web of hot, diffuse gas. View More (2010-05-12)


X-ray telescope finds new voracious black holes in early universe
Using the deepest X-ray image ever taken, a University of Michigan astronomer and her colleagues have found the first direct evidence that massive black holes were common in the early universe. View More (2011-06-16)


Supernova Explosions Stay In Shape
At a very early age, children learn how to classify objects according to their shape. Now, new research suggests studying the shape of the aftermath of supernovas may allow astronomers to do the same. View More (2009-12-18)


Galaxy cluster smashes distance record
The most distant galaxy cluster yet has been discovered by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and optical and infrared telescopes. View More (2009-10-23)


Record-setting X-ray jet discovered
A jet of X-rays from a supermassive black hole 12.4 billion light years from Earth has been detected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. View More (2012-11-29)


Scientists find the reason behind black holes' light shows
A team of astronomers led by the University of Michigan may know how black holes are lighting up the Universe. View More (2006-06-22)


How Often do Giant Black Holes Become Hyperactive?
A new study from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory tells scientists how often the biggest black holes have been active over the last few billion years. The object could help scientists better understand how massive stars explode, which ones leave behind black holes or neutron stars, and how many black holes are in our galaxy and others. View More (2010-12-21)


Taking the pulse of a black hole system
Using two NASA X-ray satellites, astronomers have discovered what drives the "heartbeats" seen in the light from an unusual black hole system. These results give new insight into the ways that black holes can regulate their intake and severely curtail their growth. View More (2011-01-13)


Milky Way's Giant Black Hole Awoke from Slumber 300 Years Ago
Using NASA, Japanese, and European X-ray satellites, a team of Japanese astronomers has discovered that our galaxy's central black hole let loose a powerful flare three centuries ago. View More (2008-04-16)


NASA's Chandra adds to black hole birth announcement
New details about the birth of a famous black hole that took place millions of years ago have been uncovered, thanks to a team of scientists who used data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory as well as from radio, optical and other X-ray telescopes. View More (2011-11-18)


Giant black hole kicked out of home galaxy
Astronomers have found strong evidence that a massive black hole is being ejected from its host galaxy at a speed of several million miles per hour.  View More (2012-06-05)


X-Rays Examine Colliding Galaxies
Galaxies were once thought of as `island universes` evolving slowly in complete isolation. This is now known not to be the case. By using the world`s most powerful X-ray observatories, UK astronomers are discovering that most of these gigantic star systems interact with each other in a wide variety of ways. During the UK National Astronomy Meeting in Bristol on Thursday 11 April, Dr. Andrew Read... View More (2002-04-07)


Distant 'Super-Starburst' Galaxies Hide Active Black Holes
ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY PRESS NOTICE: View More (2005-03-31)


Mystery spiral arms explained?
Using a trio of space observatories, astronomers may have cracked a 45-year old mystery surrounding two ghostly spiral arms in the galaxy M106 (NGC 4258). View More (2007-04-11)
