The incorrect verb is "responsible." It should be corrected to "responsible."
The correct sentence should read: "Are the Chandra X-ray Observatory or the Hubble Space Telescope **responsible** for capturing these amazing photographs of the supernova?"
Since "or" is used, we focus on the nearest subject, which is "the Hubble Space Telescope" (singular), thus the sentence should actually use "is responsible."
So the final correction is: "Is the Chandra X-ray Observatory or the Hubble Space Telescope responsible for capturing these amazing photographs of the supernova?"
