The highest angular resolution X-ray observatory ever (and likely to hold this title for at least 20 years, maybe more) and first of the current, new generation of X-ray telescopes, the Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched into space onboard the space shuttle Columbia about 10 years ago. For more information on the wonderful science this satellite has helped accomplish, read this article. Chandra really is an amazing facility, and hopefully will last (at least) another 10 years!
