What type of astronomical object does the Chandra X-Ray Observatory specialize in observing?
Planets
Galaxies
Star Clusters
Black Holes
Answer
Black holes are the most extreme objects in the Universe, and are so dense that nothing, not even light, can escape their gravitational pull. They are formed when a very massive star collapses at the end of its life, and can be detected by their strong gravitational pull and by the X-rays they emit.
