NASA, the American space agency, has launched a new X-ray mission (IXPE).
This historic X-ray mission was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida using SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.
This mission will be successful in revealing many mysterious events taking place in space. This will aid in the discovery of a plethora of important facts about black holes, supernovae, and the nature of the universe.
NASA and the Italian Space Agency are collaborating on this mission.
The pioneering mission will allow NASA to look into the origins of X-ray light, a form of high energy light produced during some of the most extreme celestial events like supernova explosions and violent collisions.
The mission expands on the work of NASA's flagship X-ray astronomy mission, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which launched in 1999 and has imaged the remnants of exploded stars, discovered black holes, and more.
