Revealing the Hidden Universe with Full-shell X-ray Optics at NASA MSFC

The study of X-ray emission from astronomical objects reveals secrets about the Universe at the largest and smallest spatial scales. Celestial X-rays are produced by black holes consuming nearby stars, emitted by the million-degree gas that traces the structure between galaxies, and can be used to predict whether stars may be able to host planets . https://science.nasa.gov/s...
