Space. For the first time, scientists find X-rays coming from Uranus. Uranus, about four times the diameter of Earth, is the seventh planet from the sun and has two sets of rings around its equator.

Images ESA’s X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has revealed a new class of exploding stars – where the X-ray emission ‘lives fast and dies young’. The identification of this particular… ...

Intriguingly, these X-rays also vaporized the thin metal foils that held the samples in place, so that the mock asteroids were essentially “levitating” when the X-rays hit them.

Astronomers have detected X-rays from Uranus for the first time, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. This result may help scientists learn more about this enigmatic ice giant planet in our ...

Navigating in space has long presented a major challenge to agencies like NASA. There are no obvious landmarks in deep space, so there’s no easily-discernible difference between one location and ...

But X-rays can be studied only from space because they are mostly absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere. A variety of dedicated X-ray space telescopes and instruments have launched to orbit, ...
