Take a look back on the last year in pictures. The latest issue of The Planetary Report, our quarterly member magazine, reviews the last year of space exploration through the lens of images. Here you can see one of the featured pictures, a montage of 25 images created with data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory to commemorate the telescope’s 25th anniversary in space. Members get a hard copy of the magazine, but anyone can read it for free on our site. Image credit: NASA et al.
