XRISM, Black hole and Supernova remnant
Supermassive black hole mysteries solved with incredible space telescope pictures
A new telescope has revealed incredible details about the mysterious phenomena that are supermassive black holes.
1st results of XRISM X-ray space telescope reveal black hole and supernova secrets
XRISM allowed astronomers to track plasma as it circled the supermassive black hole at a distance of around 0.1 light-years away. This material gradually moved inwards to a distance of around 0.001 light-years (about the distance between the sun and Uranus) before falling into the black hole.
XRISM’s First Results Reveal Groundbreaking Insights Into Black Holes and Supernova Remnants
The XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) space telescope, a collaboration between JAXA, NASA, and ESA, has delivered its first extraordinary observations since its launch in 2023. These initial results offer a deeper understanding of two of the universe's most extreme phenomena: supermassive black holes and the remnants of supernovae.
Japan’s XRISM Telescope Delivers Insights from a Supermassive Black Hole and a Supernova
XRISM also studied a supernova remnant, N132D, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This material was ejected by a massive star approximately 3,000 years ago. The telescope's observations revealed that the debris expanded in a non-uniform, donut-shaped structure, rather than the spherical shell previously thought.

X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission unveils black hole and supernova remnant surroundings
JAXA’s XRISM X-ray telescope captured the distribution of matter falling into the supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 4151 over a wide radius, spanning from 0.001 to 0.1 light-years. By ...
1st results of XRISM X-ray space telescope reveals black hole and supernova secrets
The first results from JAXA's XRISM X-ray telescope are out, and they reveal new features of the superheated gas around a distant supermassive black hole and a closer supernova.
