Sparkly, swirly, and surprising 🌌

@ChandraXray data shows that this galaxy, Messier 83, is unusual. Over 20 of its supernova remnants – remains from star explosions – vary drastically in X-ray brightness. Typically, the remnants' brightness would fade slowly over time.

Hike, sip, then stargaze with us this Saturday, June 27th!

Learn about this history of the land, Oakland, and the Ohlone peoples on your hike. Then sip, snack and stargaze from the observation deck!
