Chandra CHANDRA X-RAY OBSERVATORY Chandra captures X-ray images and measures spectra of many high-energy cosmic phenomena. Chandra has a highly elliptical orbit that takes it 1/3 of the way to the Moon, allowing Chandra to observe continuously for many hours at a time. In order to focus X-rays onto a detector, Chandra’s mirrors are shaped like barrels so that the X-rays strike them at grazing angles, like pebbles skipping across a pond.
