The most prominent feature is the bright, diffuse glow running along the middle of the map, which marks the central plane of our Milky Way galaxy. The gamma rays there are mostly produced when energetic particles accelerated in the shock waves of supernova remnants collide with gas atoms and even light between the stars. Many of the star-like features above and below the Milky Way plane are distant galaxies powered by supermassive black holes. Many of the bright sources along the plane are pulsars.

It’s the first direct measurement of both sulfur’s gas and solid phases, a unique capability of X-ray spectroscopy, XRISM’s (pronounced “crism”) primary method of studying the cosmos.Using ultraviolet light, researchers have found gaseous sulfur in the space between stars. In denser parts of the interstellar medium, such as the molecular clouds where stars and planets are born, this form of sulfur quickly disappears.Scientists assume the sulfur condenses into a solid, either by combining with ice or mixing with other elements.When a doctor performs an X-ray here on Earth, they place the patient between an X-ray source and a detector. Bone and tissue absorb different amounts of the light as it travels through the patient's body, creating contrast in the detector.Scientists did something similar by picking a portion of the interstellar medium with the right density — not so thin that all the X-rays would pass through unchanged, but also not so dense that they would all be absorbed.Then they selected a bright X-ray source behind that section of the medium, a binary star system called GX 340+0 located over 35,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Scorpius.Using the Resolve instrument on XRISM, the researchers were able to measure the energy of GX 340+0’s X-rays and determined that sulfur was present not only as a gas, but also as a solid, possibly mixed with iron.Iron-sulfur compounds are often found in meteorites, so scientists have long thought they might be one way sulfur solidifies out of molecular clouds to travel through the universe. XRISM’s observations could match a few of these compounds — pyrrhotite, troilite, and pyrite, which is sometimes called fool’s gold.The researchers were also able to use measurements from a second X-ray binary called 4U 1630-472 that helped confirm their findings. || ", "hits": 81 }, { "id": 14866, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14866/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-07-15T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Cosmic Desktop & Phone Wallpapers", "description": "We can’t clean up your messy desktop, but we can provide a bit of beauty from the universe to act as a backdrop to it.

As shown here, a black hole's gravity captures some of the wind into an accretion disk around it, and the disk's orbital motion sculpts a path (yellow arc) through the streaming gas.

Each side of the triangular array will measure nearly 1.6 million miles, or 2.5 million kilometers.Twin telescopes aboard each spacecraft will both transmit and receive infrared laser beams to track their companions, and NASA is supplying all six of them to the LISA mission. The prototype, called the Engineering Development Unit Telescope, will provide guidance as engineers and scientists work toward building the flight hardware.In May, the prototype, which was manufactured and assembled by L3Harris Technologies in Rochester, New York, arrived at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The primary mirror is coated in gold to better reflect the infrared lasers and to reduce heat loss from a surface exposed to cold space since the telescope will operate best when close to room temperature. The prototype is made entirely from an amber-colored glass-ceramic called Zerodur, manufactured by Schott in Mainz, Germany. The material is widely used for telescope mirrors and other applications requiring high precision because its shape changes very little over a wide range of temperatures. || ", "hits": 117 }, { "id": 14705, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14705/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-10-21T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "A-STEP’s AstroPix Detectors Get Ready for Flight", "description": "Scientists and engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, have been preparing a new gamma-ray detector called AstroPix for an upcoming rocket payload called A-STEP (AstroPix Sounding Rocket Technology dEmonstration Payload).Each detector contains four silicon sensors, and each sensor incorporates 1,225 pixels.

The distortions seen in this image are due to the physics of general relativity, which informs us how the path of light is deflected in the presence of a gravitational field. The material forming a black hole has been compressed to densities so high that it is hidden within an “event horizon,” beyond which the gravitational field is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Outside of this event horizon light paths will bend sharply, and even loop around the black hole, under the influence of the intense gravitational fields.The speed at which material, in what is known as an accretion disk, orbits the black hole increases with proximity. The orbital speed of material closest to the event horizon approaches the speed of light. This produces an effect known as “relativistic doppler beaming” which enhances the brightness of material moving towards us along our line of sight, and correspondingly dims the brightness of material moving away.The gravitational warping of the light from background stars is strong, creating the effect of a powerful lens. Light from the region directly behind the black hole forms an “Einstein Ring” that encircles the event horizon. Inside this ring we find an inverted view of the entire sky, which is increasingly distorted. The inner black disk is known as the black hole’s “shadow” which appears slightly larger than the actual location of the event horizon due to the distortion of the light paths.The light from the orbiting material is likewise distorted, making the flat accretion disk appear to bend completely around the black hole’s shadow and have the disk behind the black hole appear to be both above and below it. Yet despite these strange visual distortions that change with viewing angle, the accretion disk itself physically remains flat.These illustrations depict what is known as a “Schwarzschild” black hole, made from material that had no overall rotation. A black hole created from rapidly spinning material retains a sense of this rotation and displays additional asymmetries not pictured here; this is known as a “Kerr” black hole.The appearance of a black hole like this is “scale invariant,” meaning that the way light warps around it will appear the same, regardless of the mass of the object. The only thing that changes is the overall size of the distortions and shadow. Thus a black hole ten times as massive as the one shown here, viewed from ten times further away, would look exactly the same.These animations show qualitatively correct depictions of light distortion around a black hole that use a simplified optical model for the effect, rather than full general relativistic ray-tracing code. || ", "hits": 917 }, { "id": 14620, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14620/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-07-17T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Isolated Black Hole Visualization", "description": "This visualization shows the strange ways that light is gravitationally warped in the region around a black hole.
