The Chandra X-ray Observatory, launched by NASA in 1999, has transformed our understanding of the universe. Over two decades, it has unveiled the mysteries of black holes, supernova remnants, and dark matter, providing unprecedented insights into the high-energy universe. Chandra’s discoveries have expanded our knowledge and spurred new questions, solidifying its status as a pivotal tool in astrophysics.

NASA entrusted Steer Films to tell Chandra’s story, recognizing our expertise in crafting narratives with a human touch. Our experience in bringing complex scientific stories to life made us the ideal partner. Through “First Light,” we honored both the technological marvel of Chandra and the dedication of the scientists and engineers behind it, ensuring that this celebration of Chandra’s 20th anniversary would inspire and educate audiences around the world.
