    In 2024, we mark 25 years since Chandra launched. Over the past 25 years, Chandra has made groundbreaking discoveries spanning from planetary atmospheres to distant galaxy clusters, exploring our cosmic backyard to the edge of the observable universe.

    Our #AAS242 booth is now packed up and ready for the trip home, but we wanted to thank everyone who stopped by; whether you were learning about us for the first time or are a long-time user, it was lovely to meet with and chat with you all. See you in New Orleans for #AAS243!

    Hello #AAS242 -- join us at 9:30 in the Exhibitor Theater for a presentation by Ian Evans on the @chandraxray Source Catalog. The CSC and its upcoming 2.1 release unlock the 24-year legacy of our mission to enable everyone -- yes, everyone! -- to be an X-ray expert.

    Are you at #AAS242? Be sure to swing by the #ChandraXray booth every day -- we have limited edition buttons for each day of the conference. Today's button: nearby spiral M101. With our excellent angular resolution, we see where in M101 energetic events are happening!
    A single button, resting on a black table cloth. It is labeled "Chandra X-Ray Observatory" and has a spiral galaxy in red and yellow with individual points colored blue.

    It's Throwback Monday at #APSApril: Last year Chad Kishimoto (@neutrinoSD) and his students came by our booth, and this year the tradition continued! We're looking forward to seeing @usdcas students again next year at the @APSMeetings April Meeting!
