"Above and Beyond" Celebrates Chandra and CfA at the Hirshhorn
A symphonic event at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden on November 16th 2024 provided a remarkable opportunity to celebrate 25 years with the Chandra X-ray Observatory on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The free program, entitled "Above and Beyond," was built around Chandra’s milestone anniversary and featured the premiere of "Where Parallel Lines Converge."
