About 1,500 light years away, the Orion Nebula is one of the closest star-forming regions to Earth! The wispy, pink & purple filaments are clouds of gas and dust that will one day condense into disks of material from which future stars will be born! s.si.edu/2vcql1V pic.twitter.com/fIW4WFz3Fc

#News: 1,183 young stars have been detected in the Eagle Nebula! This new composite image is over 5 light years across and shows the region around the famous "Pillars of Creation". More on the discovery and its implications: chandra.si.edu/photo/2018/m16/ pic.twitter.com/ddqZnFGsUH

This superbubble is about 160,000 light years from Earth. Superbubbles are huge cavities made by supernova shock waves and stellar winds in areas of newly-formed, massive stars! Our solar system is inside an old one called the Local Bubble! s.si.edu/2u93oia pic.twitter.com/06PzAABvK9

The object is called NGC 6240. The merging process began about 30 million years ago and won't be complete for 10s to 100s of millions of years!

Yes! When you walk across a room, you create a gravitational wave -- it's just very, very small! The difficulty is in the detection.

#Today Chandra is studying a star in the Ophiuchus constellation! Nearby in the sky two galaxies are melding into one. The central, supermassive black hole from each original galaxy is spiraling closer and closer to the other in #space — now a mere 3,000 light years apart! pic.twitter.com/j0o93uciSY

Using data from @NASA's @ChandraXray Observatory, astronomers have discovered a special kind of neutron star for the first time outside of the Milky Way galaxy! LEARN MORE >> go.nasa.gov/2H0FpoS pic.twitter.com/6OPWJiG0Xq

It’s roughly 160,000 light years away. Far, far away from planet Earth!

The supernova explosion that created this supernova remnant was seen on Earth nearly 400 years ago. This cosmic bubble is still expanding in #space at more than 11 million miles per hour (5,000 kilometers per second)! s.si.edu/2w6Ayxi pic.twitter.com/eo4T2jEpqh

If black holes merge, they would produce gravitational waves. You produce gravitational waves when you walk across a room! The difficult part is detecting those waves! :)
