This anniversary, we celebrate the team behind the mission. Thanks, Chandra team, for all you do!
(Shown here is a group shot of some of the team, past and present, at the party at our Control Center yesterday).

Happy 25th launch-iversary to Hubble’s frequent partner in science, NASA’s #Chandra X-ray Observatory. 🚀 🎉
What a wild, wonderful quarter-century it’s been! Explore this collaborative image of the Bullet Cluster, key evidence for the existence of dark matter: https://bit.ly/4csUY82 #Chandra25
Good morning, it is July 23 here in Cambridge, MA, meaning that today is our 25th BIRTHDAY!
What better way to start this party than a release of 25 images to celebrate 25 years: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/chandra/25-images-to-celebrate-nasas-chandra-25th-anniversary/

At #AAS244 and looking for something to do? Come to our booth and learn about the ongoing science we're doing, our outreach initiatives, how to become an X-ray astronomer (or pretend to be one convincingly!), and grab some great swag!
New, on @TheConversationUS:
I'm an Astrophysicist mapping the Universe with data from #ChandraXRay: Clear, sharp photos help me study energetic black holes.

The second is "The Sounds of Feedback: Deep and Wide Imaging of the Cool Core of the Perseus Cluster" led by Andrew Fabian at the #UniversityOfCambridge
The Perseus cluster has a supermassive black hole in its center blowing giant bubbles. The image below, which is over 1 million light years across, shows these bubbles rising through the cluster's gas. Deeper Chandra observations will reveal how this energy propagates at the most massive of scales.
