STEM Week Speaker: Melania Nynka, Ph.D., Astrophysicist and MIT Research Scientist, Chandra X-ray Observatory
Thursday, October 24, 2024
at 1-2 p.m.
25 years ago, astronomy was changed forever with the launch of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Chandra is one of NASA's flagship Great Observatories (along with the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope) and provides us with the sharpest X-ray images ever taken of the cosmos. This talk will describe the harrowing shuttle launch, feats of engineering that make Chandra possible, and some of the incredible images and scientific breakthroughs that Chandra has provided.
