| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
A real-time procedure was completed on Nov 11 to update the on-board ephemeris. A Chandra press release was issued on Nov 10 describing a never-before-seen view of the turbulent heart of our Milky Way galaxy. In celebration of this International Year of Astronomy, NASA is releasing images of the galactic center region as seen by its Great Observatories to more than 150 planetariums, museums, nature centers, libraries, and schools across the country. This event will commemorate the 400 years since Galileo first turned his telescope to the heavens in 1609.
