Flaring black hole whips up ultra-fast winds
"
"Leading X-ray space telescopes XMM-Newton and XRISM have spotted an extraordinary blast from a supermassive black hole. In a matter of hours, the gravitational monster whipped up powerful winds, flinging material out into space at eye-watering speeds of 60 000 km per second."

Successful launch of #NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission #PACE! 🚀 🛰️

Its three instruments #OCI, #HARP2, and #SPEXone will give valuable data on phytoplankton in oceans, cloud formation, and fine particles in the atmosphere, to better monitor ocean health, air quality, and climate change.

The NL-built SPEXone polarimeter was developed by #SRON and #AirbusNL, supported by #TNO, to give unsurpassed polarimetric accuracy.

"Die „X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM)“ ist für den Start am 28. August 2023 bereit, um die energiereichsten Objekte und Ereignisse im Kosmos zu beobachten. So wird sie die Entwicklung des Universums und die Struktur der Raumzeit enthüllen. Eine Information der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation (ESA)."
