- Astronomers conducted archaeology in space with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. Looking at a double star system, they found individual elements like iron and sulfur. These elements are flowing away from winds being powered by a black hole. This helps scientists learn more about the star that exploded to create the black hole.
