The Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC), hosted by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, operates NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Launched in 1999, Chandra is a space telescope designed to detect X-ray emissions from very hot regions of the universe, such as exploded stars, galaxy clusters, and areas around black holes. The CXC processes data from the satellite and distributes it to scientists worldwide for analysis, maintaining a website with science results and educational programs. It partners with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and provides data to the scientific community.
