3		CXC Logo The CXC logo delineates a stylized representation of the Chandra spacecraft formed to shape an "X" (for X-ray Astronomy) in the center of the image. The four circles in the background represent the four shells of the Chandra mirror, seen end-on, scaled to show the actual relative sizes and spacings of the shells. The grid at bottom of the image is a representation of the detector grids in the Chandra science instruments. (Illustration: CXC)
