A Trio of 3D Chandra Models Launch on Voyager
A Trio of 3D Chandra Models Launch on Voyager For over a decade, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has been releasing three-dimensional models (3D) that transform astronomical data into interactive experiences. These science-based visualizations offered new ways to explore stellar evolution, supernova remnants, and the complex structures revealed through X-ra
