Today Chandra is peering at a pulsar in Puppis. Nearby in the sky is planetary nebula NGC 2440. A star nearing the end of its life is casting off its outer layers, forming a cocoon around the star's remaining core. Ultraviolet light from the dying star makes the material glow.
Today Chandra is helping us learn more about the core of the Circinus Galaxy. Located only about 13 million light-years from Earth, Circinus is one of the closest known galaxies to our Milky Way that contains an actively growing supermassive black hole.
