Beautiful X ray images

For those who like their science leavened with artistry and beauty, here is a fabulous new website. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory, NASA's newest space telescope, is now amassing an archive of fine x-ray images of exotic objects. Some of the celestial marvels you can gaze at here include Cassiopeia A, a supernova remnant, and Centaurus A, a volatile galaxy near our own. From what I've seen posted here so far, Chandra is set to match the Hubble telescope in its range of beautiful otherworldly discoveries!
