Last week, an ominous letter was published to the Chandra X-ray Observatory's website. "Dear Chandra community," it starts, "As many of you are aware, the NASA budget for FY25 and beyond was released…" 

This letter was written by Patrick Slane, director of the Chandra X-ray Center. In it, he's talking about NASA's budget proposal for the next few years. It's a budget that paints Chandra's future as a bleak one — a budget that would leave Chandra's mission behind.

"For scientists who rely on Chandra for their research, the mood is one of shock," Slane told Space.com, "but the energy to push back on this decision is high."
