NASA released stunning images to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Chandra X-ray Observatory launch. The Chandra team shared an image of a galaxy that has never been witnessed before — it’s a spiral galaxy in the Pavo (Peacock) constellation.

Chandra has collected nearly 25,000 images “over its time in space,” USA Today reported.

It “observed the cosmic objects for up to thousands of hours,” and “it took the telescope 64 days of observation time and 370 observations over the course of 20 years to capture an image of the Milky Way’s center, about 26,000 light-years away from earth,” per USA Today .
