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": 100 }, { "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.

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 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": 902 }, { "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.

This work has helped explain an unusual structure in the debris from the destroyed star called the “Green Monster”, first discovered in Webb data in April 2023. The research has also uncovered new details about the explosion that created Cas A about 340 years ago, from Earth’s perspective.A new composite image contains X-rays from Chandra (blue), infrared data from Webb (red, green, blue), and optical data from Hubble (red and white). The outer parts of the image also include infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope (red, green and blue). The outline of the Green Monster can be seen by mousing over the image in the original feature, located here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/.The Chandra data reveals hot gas, mostly from supernova debris from the destroyed star, including elements like silicon and iron. In the outer parts of Cas A the expanding blast wave is striking surrounding gas that was ejected by the star before the explosion. The X-rays are produced by energetic electrons spiraling around magnetic field lines in the blast wave. These electrons light up as thin arcs in the outer regions of Cas A, and in parts of the interior. Webb highlights infrared emission from dust that is warmed up because it is embedded in the hot gas seen by Chandra, and from much cooler supernova debris. The Hubble data shows stars in the field.Detailed analysis by the researchers found that filaments in the outer part of Cas A, from the blast wave, closely matched the X-ray properties of the Green Monster, including less iron and silicon than in the supernova debris. This interpretation is apparent from the color Chandra image, which shows that the colors inside the Green Monster’s outline best match with the colors of the blast wave rather than the debris with iron and silicon. The authors conclude that the Green Monster was created by a blast wave from the exploded star slamming into material surrounding it, supporting earlier suggestions from the Webb data alone.The debris from the explosion is seen by Chandra because it is heated to tens of millions of degrees by shock waves, akin to sonic booms from a supersonic plane. Webb can see some material that has not been affected by shock waves, what can be called “pristine” debris.Read more here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/. || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o.jpg (4200x3386) [7.1 MB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_searchweb.png (320x180) [121.1 KB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_thm.png (80x40) [15.9 KB] || webb-chandra-hubble-and-spitzer-all-explore-cassiopeia-a-composite-all-4.hwshow || ", "hits": 324 }, { "id": 14581, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14581/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-05-23T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Gliese 12 b: An Intriguing World Sized Between Earth and Venus", "description": "Gliese 12 b’s estimated size may be as large as Earth or slightly smaller — comparable to Venus in our solar system.
