00:00NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is revealing galaxies in dramatic stages of change.
00:05A new collection features 16 galaxy images captured across decades of observations.
00:11The images combine X-rays with data from Webb, Hubble, and other observatories.
00:16Chandra detects gas heated to millions of degrees around these distant systems.
00:20Some galaxies are being reshaped by collisions and intense bursts of star formation.
00:25Others are losing gas as they travel through massive galaxy clusters.
00:30Supermassive black holes can also transform their surroundings.
00:33In Centaurus A, a powerful jet extends tens of thousands of light years.
00:38Another galaxy, Messier 106, has jets that heat nearby gas and create unusual structures.
00:45These observations show galaxies are constantly evolving through gravity, stars, gas, and black holes.
00:52They also give astronomers clues about the past and future of our own Milky Way.
