Chandra is a website that is advocating for the U.S. Congress to not cut funding to NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. You can visit it itself, so I will keep this short and sweet:

  • ~400 publications per year
  • Ground breaking work on the study of blackholes
  • It costs $293M for 4 years of operation, about the same price of 3 military fighter jets, meaning on average that the telescope costs less/year then a fighter jet
