COSMIC MESSAGE
The Chandra X-ray Observatory stared into the plane of our Milky Way galaxy for 27 hours in February 2000. It targeted a spot in Scutum, a region where galactic gas and dust block visible light. The X-ray observations penetrated the obscurations, revealing the Milky Way and the Universe beyond.
