   In March, we learned that NASA was getting about two billion dollars less than it had requested, forcing difficult cuts across the agency. We will see agency-wide trimming and mission pushback, but one surprising outcome was the announcement that NASA will no longer support the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. This hard-working X-ray mission has been operational since 1999 and used to make countless discoveries about the high-energy Universe. No replacement is planned.
