And, scientists with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have detected what they like to call a ...

XRISM’s Resolve instrument has revealed that N132D is not a simple, spherical bubble of gas, as previously thought, but rather a complex structure shaped like a doughnut.

XRISM will make use of this effect when it looks at X-ray emissions from materials that surround the most massive and dense objects in the universe, namely supermassive black holes that lie at the ...

XRISM will detect X-ray light, a wavelength invisible to humans. Studying stellar explosions and black holes X-rays are released by some of the most energetic objects and events in the universe ...

The XRISM satellite and lunar lander launched from Japan on Thursday morning. JAXA/YouTube. The event streamed live on JAXA’s YouTube channel, offering a broadcast in both English and Japanese.

XRISM could change the way we see the X-ray universe, but a jammed door presents a mighty challenge. With the door closed, low energy X-rays are impossible to detect. But trying to open the door ...

XRISM and SLIM were expected to launch from an H-IIA rocket from Japan’s Tanegashima Space Center on Sunday at 8:26 p.m. Eastern time (or Monday at 9:26 a.m. in Japan).

XRISM is not only a major accomplishment on its own, but will also serve as a pathfinder and test drive for future missions as well. “XRISM will be a valuable bridge between ESA’s other X ...

XRISM’s data debut proves its extraordinary capabilities. The latest X-ray observatory found a warped black hole disk and a supernova spewing iron — and it’s just getting started.
