In it's 9th year of operation the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) has been another success for NASA in its Great Observatories initiative. X-ray astronomy collects the x-ray emission from celestial objects to gather data. Because x-ray radiation is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere these observing devices must be placed outside of the Earth's atmosphere. The telescope orbits Earth approximately every 64 hours and is located at altitudes between 9,900 miles and 82,000 miles above the Earth. The highest resolution x-ray telescope ever built, the CXO is returning a wealth of knowledge about our universe, including some very stunning images. This presentation will introduce the CXO facility and talk about x-ray astronomy in general, including some of the many stunning images.
