2. The Universe in a Jelly Bean Jar
Most of the Universe is dark. The protons, neutrons and electrons that make up the stars, planets and us represent only a small fraction of the mass and energy of the Universe. The rest is dark and mysterious. How can X-rays help reveal the secrets of this darkness?

6. The Chandra X-ray Observatory: The Past, the Present, and the Future (2005)
In their joint presentation for the 2005 AAS Rossi Prize Lecture, Martin Weisskopf (MSFC) & Harvey Tananbaum (CXC) discussed the history of the Chandra mission, the development of the hardware, its testing, and launch on July 23, 1999. The majority of the talk gives an eclectic review of some of the most exciting scientific highlights, including: the first source seen with Chandra - an unusual Seyfert 1 nicknamed Leon X-1; the detailed study of the Crab Nebula and its pulsar; the 1-million second exposure on Cas A. The presentation also summarizes some of the major Chandra findings for normal and active galaxies, and illustrates the breadth of science enabled by Chandra observations of clusters of galaxies. The talk closes with a brief look towards the future of the field
