The first image from the probe that explores the Universe in these energetic wavelengths has just been released . It shows Puppis A , the supernova remnant from a massive star that exploded 4,000 years ago . The image showed the expanding cloud of ejecta from the explosion but now , Einstein will continue to scan the skies for other X-ray events. The Chinese and European probe was designed to revolutionise our understanding of the

The barred-spiral galaxy has been known to be a feature of the modern universe but a study from astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope has recently challenged that view . Following on observations using the James Webb Space Telescope has found the bar feature in some spiral galaxies as early as 11 billion years ago suggesting galaxies evolved faster in the early Universe than

Events where black holes and neutron stars collide can send out waves detectable here on Earth . It is possible that there can be an event in visible light when neutron stars collide so to take advantage of every opportunity an early warning is essential . The teams at
