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": 88 }, { "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.

The damage allows sunlight to reach the detectors during the station’s daytime, saturating sensors and interfering with NICER’s X-ray measurements.

They first came to the attention of astronomers in the 1970s when new satellites detected this surprising phenomenon. Over decades, scientists have found that these blasts could be detected somewhere in the sky almost every day, and that they were both extremely distant — the closest known is over 100 million light-years away — and enormously powerful. Gamma-ray bursts are now linked to the explosive deaths of massive stars and to mergers of compact objects, like neutron stars and black holes, but many puzzles remain.

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy indicates two gas components: a heavy background outflow, or wind, produced by the massive star and a turbulent structure — perhaps a wake carved into the wind — located close to the orbiting companion. 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. During strong outbursts, the companion emits jets of particles moving near the speed of light, seen here extending above and below the black hole.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterAlt text: Illustration of the Cygnus X-3 systemImage description: On a cloudy reddish background, a bright blue-white circle — a representation of a hot, bright, massive star — sits near the center.

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 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.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 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": 1121 }, { "id": 14607, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14607/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-07-10T10:55:00-04:00", "title": "Hubble Finds New Evidence for Intermediate-Mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri", "description": "Intermediate-mass black holes are a long-sought “missing link” in black hole evolution. They are smaller than the supermassive black holes that lie at the cores of large galaxies, but larger than stellar-mass black holes formed by the collapse of massive stars. Only a few candidates have been found to date. Now, a team of astronomers analyzed over 500 images from 20 years of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope observations to find evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole by tracking seven fast-moving stars in the Omega Centauri globular star cluster.Scientists think a massive object is gravitationally pulling on the stars within Omega Centauri, keeping them close to its center. From the motions of the stars, they estimate it has a mass of at least 8,200 times that of our Sun, the mass range for an Intermediate-Mass Black Hole is between 100 and 100,000 solar masses, therefore the only object that can be so massive is a black hole.

This is the most comprehensive and detailed multiwavelength movie yet of this star-birthing region.The movie takes visitors into the three-dimensional structures of the pillars. Rather than an artistic interpretation, the video is based on observational data from a science paper led by Anna McLeod, an associate professor at the University of Durham in the United Kingdom. McLeod also served as a scientific advisor on the movie project.The 3D structures are approximations for how the pillars are lined up in space like a row of trees, based on observational data. The goal is to give viewers an experiential view, so that they can better interpret the otherwise flat, two-dimensional images from telescopes.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.
