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": 103 }, { "id": 5567, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5567/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2025-07-21T18:59:59-04:00", "title": "New Missions to L1", "description": "Three missions, Carruthers, IMAP and SWFO-L1 will be launched to the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point, L1.", "hits": 152 }, { "id": 14869, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14869/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-07-18T11:00:00-04:00", "title": "STORIE Fit Test at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center", "description": "NASA’s STORIE mission, or Storm Time O+ Ring current Imaging Evolution, has completed its design, build, and testing campaign at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, ahead of its mission onboard the International Space Station (ISS). From its unique vantage point on the ISS, STORIE will use neutral atom imaging to provide an “inside out” view of Earth’s ring current – a region of the magnetosphere where energetic particles are trapped in near-Earth space. In addition to answering fundamental questions about the ring current’s intensity and composition, STORIE will also provide a more detailed understanding of how geomagnetic storms affect Earth.From NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, STORIE will be shipped to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where it will be integrated onto a pallet to be installed outside the ISS’s Columbus Module.

By imaging the Sun’s corona and the solar wind together, scientists hope to better understand the entire inner heliosphere – Sun, solar wind, and Earth – as a single connected system.Three of the PUNCH satellites will carry a Wide Field Imager (WFI), and the fourth will carry the Narrow Field Imager (NFI).The Narrow Field Imager (NFI)The Narrow Field Image (NFI) is a coronagraph, a type of device that blocks out the bright light from the Sun to better see details in the Sun's outer atmosphere, or corona. The coronagraph will have a similar field of view as the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) C3 field, from 6 to 32 solar radii on the sky, and it will view the corona in both polarized and unpolarized light.Wide Field Imager (WFI)The Wide Field Imager (WFI) is a heliospheric imager, a device that provides views from 18 to 180 solar radii (45 degrees) away from the Sun in the sky. Heliospheric imagers use an artificial “horizon” and deep baffles to view the very faint outermost portion of the solar corona and the solar wind itself. The instrument reduces direct sunlight by over 16 orders of magnitude, which is like the ratio between the mass of a human and the mass of a cold virus.

The team at L3Harris then reshaped the mirror and built upon the inherited hardware to ensure it would meet Roman's specifications for expansive, sensitive infrared observations.Roman's primary mirror is 7.9 feet (2.4 meters) across. While it's the same size as the Hubble Space Telescope's main mirror, it is less than one-fourth the weight. Roman's mirror weighs only 410 pounds (186 kilograms) thanks to major improvements in technology.The newly resurfaced mirror sports a layer of silver less than 400 nanometers thick – about 200 times thinner than a human hair. The silver coating was specifically chosen for Roman because of how well it reflects near-infrared light. The primary mirror, in concert with other optics, will send light to Roman's two science instruments – the Wide Field Instrument and Coronagraph Instrument. The first is essentially a giant 300-megapixel camera that provides the same sharp resolution as Hubble across nearly 100 times the field of view.
