For over 25 years, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed a dramatic, invisible universe where black holes collide, stars explode, and galaxies erupt with high-energy light. Join Chandra visualization scientist Kimberly Arcand of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for a dynamic journey through some of space telescope Chandra’s most breathtaking discoveries, transformed into stunning images, immersive experiences, and even sound.

From the birth of stars to the aftermath of supernovas, Arcand showcases how astronomers “see” the X-ray universe—and how those data are translated into visual and sonic masterpieces. Explore stellar nurseries, hear the echoes of black holes, and experience deep space like never before. With this blend of science, art, and technology, celebrate Chandra’s remarkable scientific legacy while anticipating the exciting future of exploring the cosmos in all its hidden dimensions.
