Q&A: X-ray Astronomy
Q:
Do you think that in the future the X-Ray telescope will replace
the Hubble telescope?
A:
No, the two telescopes are complementary, not competitive.
Hubble looks at optical or visible light from objects that
typically have a temperature of a few thousand to many thousands
of degrees. Chandra looks at X-ray light from objects that have
a temperature of a few million to many millions of
degrees.
