| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
A real-time procedure was completed on Oct 16 to update the on-board ephemeris. A Chandra image release was issued on Oct 14 that reveals dramatic details of a portion of the Crescent Nebula, a giant gaseous shell created by powerful winds blowing from the massive star HD 192163. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2003/ngc6888/ . The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes an observation of T Tau coordinated with a VLBI observation. |
