NASA's Chandra telescope discovered a massive galaxy cluster, PLCK G287.0+32.9, wrapped in a 20 million light-year-wide energized particle cocoon, likely energized by shockwaves and turbulence, revealing new insights into cosmic energy processes and magnetic fields.
Astronomers captured an image of a supermassive black hole's jet from 11.6 billion light-years away, illuminated by the Big Bang's afterglow, revealing the jet's immense size and speed. The observation was made possible by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, which faces potential decommissioning due to funding issues, risking a significant loss in high-energy astrophysics research.
