Description: This is the Chandra X-ray Observatory photo album website. It begins with an introduction on the electromagnetic spectrum, focusing on X-rays in particular. It also contains information on false color images. The images in this photo gallery were taken between 1999 and 2004 by the Chandra telescope. Each image includes a description and a link to more information about the object. Additional resources such as podcasts and other multimedia projects are also included. This is a nice comprehensive look at the makeup of light and research into this area.
