Today Chandra is studying a #BlackHole in Cancer. Nearby in the sky one of the most massive black holes ever found — over 18 billion times the mass of our Sun — is engaged in an orbital dance with another black hole ~150 million times the Sun's mass at the core of galaxy OJ 287.
We're gearing up to insert #NASAWebb into its orbit!
