NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory Marks 25 Years of Groundbreaking Discoveries

The mission reveals unseen cosmic phenomena but faces an uncertain future due to budget cuts.

Chandra has unveiled black holes, dark matter, and supernova remnants through X-ray imaging.
The telescope has produced nearly 25,000 observations and over 10,000 scientific papers.
Key discoveries include the first direct evidence of dark matter and colliding neutron stars.
Chandra's budget is set to decline drastically, threatening its continued operation.
Efforts are underway to advocate for the mission's preservation amid funding challenges.
