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.

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.

A new collection of images is being released to recognize Archive month, which is celebrated every October in the US.
**Chandra Podcast: A Tour of a Collision Between Four Galaxy Clusters in Abell 1758
When two pairs of galaxy clusters collide, the result is not four separate objects, but one giant galaxy cluster.
