UNAWE Space Scoop - A Journey into Deep Space: Our Deepest View of the X-ray Universe

http://www.unawe.org/kids/unawe1701/ A team from Penn State University, Italy and all over the world used the Chandra X-ray Space Observatory to study the cosmos by looking at a type of light called X-rays. X-rays reveal the very energetic and exotic objects in space, like colliding stars and black holes. A picture recently released by the Chandra Space Observatory team and studied by that team from Penn State shows us what you can see in a small part of the night sky, about 2/3 the size of the full Moon, if you look at the X-rays coming from it.
