The telescope is named after the Nobel Prize-winning Indian-American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

Nasa wants to send humans to Venus - now that's brilliant idea; here's why

The idea behind NASA's new mission is not to land people on the inhospitable surface, but to use the dense atmosphere as a base for exploration
