In 2009, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory released a captivating image: a pulsar and its surrounding nebula that is shaped like a hand. Since then, astronomers have used Chandra and other telescopes to continue to observe this object. Now, new radio data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), has been combined with Chandra’s X-ray data to provide a fresh view …

A black hole’s bizarre “heartbeat” is forcing astronomers to reconsider how these cosmic heavyweights behave. Observations of IGR J17091-3624 — a black hole in a binary system roughly 28,000 light-years from Earth — were taken using NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). Nicknamed the “heartbeat” black hole for its dramatic, rhythmic pulses in brightness, the object feeds on matter stolen …

NASA has unveiled a dazzling new collection of cosmic images from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, capturing spectacular stellar, nebular and galactic activity in unprecedented detail. The collection showcases nine composite images that combine Chandra’s X-ray data with observations from other space and ground-based telescopes across the infrared, optical and radio spectrum, according to a statement releasing the new images on …

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A firm specializing in X-ray CT scans has investigated the recently recalled Anker power banks. The scans show there are a few differences between the recalled models and the ones not recalled. Back in June, Anker recalled over 1 million of its PowerCore 10000 power banks (model A1263). Although the company didn’t go into …

Astronomers have discovered that radiation emitted by a rapidly spinning neutron star, or “pulsar,” is dominated by the impact of its powerful particle winds — and not by the material it strips from a companion star. The pulsar in question is PSR J1023+0038 (J1023), which sits in a binary system located 4,500 light-years away from Earth. This binary consists of …
