NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory Discovers New Class of Mysterious X-Ray Objects

Scientists using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have identified a new class of 'hypersoft X-ray sources' in other galaxies. These objects emit unusually low-energy X-rays and intense ultraviolet radiation, a discovery that could help resolve two long-standing questions in astrophysics. The findings are featured in a paper published in Nature Astronomy.
