I guess I should also re-up my post https://mastodon.social/@dburke/112099531239673568 all about my Chandra Schedule viewer - try

if you want a fancy-schmancy interactive dohickey of a website, or the classic version at

I'm on my way to the start of the 25 year celebration of Chandra conference-thingamabo (I wasn't allowed to come up with the name for done reason). It's in sunny downtown Boston, so it's time to wait for a train.

✨ À l’occasion de #Chandra25, la NASA publie 25 images inédites qui représentent la large gamme d’objets que le télescope a observés au cours des 25 ans de science.
Les rayons X sont particulièrement pénétrants et révèlent alors des objets extrêmement chauds et des processus physiques très énergétiques. Les images montrent des restes de supernova, des régions de formation d'étoiles, et autres merveilles de l'Univers.

#OTD in 1999, the Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off with the heaviest payload ever sent to orbit on the STS -- the #ChandraXRay Observatory. Soon after, Chandra was deployed from the Cargo Bay and boosted to its final orbit via the final Shuttle-based launch of the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS).
