The more scientists study it, the weirder Uranus gets.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered the remains of a rare kind of stellar explosion near the center of the Milky Way.

About 21,000 light-years from Earth, far-off in the Milky Way galaxy, astronomers have spotted the fastest-spinning (and possibly the youngest) magnetar ever seen.

NASA recently highlighted some collaborations between the Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes.

This black hole's parents never told it not to play with its food.

A gargantuan explosion tore through the heart of a distant galaxy cluster, releasing about five times more energy than the previous record holder, a new study reports.

Move over, red dwarfs. Emerging research shows that another star type could be more friendly to life.

A cloaked black hole found lurking behind a cloud of gas dates to the early cosmic years of the universe.

It's been 20 years since NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory launched to give us the sharpest-ever view of X-rays — and the telescope is still working at the frontier of science, the agency said.

A group of scientists set out to learn whether hot gas in galaxy clusters is as thick as honey sliding off a spoon or as smooth as milk being stirred in a coffee cup.
