False-color Chandra X-ray Observatory image of the X-ray spectrum of XTE J1118+480, a star system in Ursa Major believed to contain a black hole. The image displays the spectrum spread out using gold gratings, with higher energy X-rays near the center and lower energy X-rays at the edges. The central spiky region represents unspread X-rays from the source. This shows how X-ray light, unlike visible light, can be analyzed using specialized tools.

False-color Chandra X-ray Observatory image of XTE J1118+480, a star system in Ursa Major containing a sun-like star orbiting a black hole. The image shows the x-ray spectrum spread out by gold gratings, with higher energy x-rays near the center and lower energies towards the edges. The central bright region shows x-rays not dispersed by the gratings.

Vintage illustration of NASA's High Energy Astrophysical Observatory (HEAO) spacecraft – HEAO-1, HEAO-2 (Einstein Observatory), and HEAO-3 – orbiting Earth. These satellites, depicted above the planet, played a pivotal role in X-ray astronomy, discovering thousands of celestial sources. Each satellite is labeled A, B, and C respectively.

Stunning composite image of the Crab Nebula, showcasing its intricate structure and the central Crab Pulsar. Optical and X-ray data reveal the nebula's vibrant colors and energetic processes, the result of a supernova explosion witnessed in 1054 AD. The pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star, powers the nebula's emission.
