**Chandra Blog: Behind the Scenes with the Image Makers
It is both an art and a science to make images of objects from space. Most astronomical images are composed of light that humans cannot detect with their eyes. Instead, the data from telescopes like NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory are “translated,” so to speak, into a form that we can understand.

**Chandra Blog: Witnessing the Formation of One of the Most Massive Objects in the Universe
We welcome Gerrit Schellenberger as our guest blogger. He received his PhD in Bonn, Germany in 2016, and has been a post-doctoral researcher at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian since March 2016. His research includes working on galaxy clusters and groups in large samples for cosmology, but also on individual objects in the X-rays and in the radio regime.

**Chandra Podcast: A Tour of the Phoenix Cluster
Scientists have found stars forming at a furious rate in the Phoenix galaxy cluster. The supermassive black hole in the center of galaxy clusters usually stifles star formation, but the one in Phoenix is not.
