Astronomers are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year.

Highly energetic explosions in the sky are commonly attributed to gamma-ray bursts. We now understand that these bursts originate from either the merger of two neutron stars or the collapse of a ...

On March 15, 2024, a space-based observatory detected bursts of low-energy X-rays from deep in the ancient universe, ...

Watch an animation of a black hole shooting jets of particles through a "collapsing star at nearly the speed of light" and ...

In the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, two gigantic "bubbles" extend roughly 50,000 light-years above and below the galactic ...

Scientists discover low-mass microquasars can accelerate cosmic rays, reshaping theories on high-energy particle origins.

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...

The Einstein Probe detected a 17-minute soft X-ray burst from 12.5 billion light-years away, challenging gamma-ray burst ...

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle accelerators, which leads to a significant impact on the interpretation of the ...

The Einstein Probe is revolutionizing our view of the distant X-ray universe, offering an unprecedented look at some of the ...
