official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light those particles should produce. On May 18, 2023, aContinue reading “NASA’s Fermi Mission Sees No Gamma Rays from Nearby Supernova”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Chandra autonomously transitioned to Normal Sun Mode (NSM) during an observation late on Saturday, February 2, 2024. The transition was nominal, science instruments were safed properly, and all telemetry was as expected. The immediate cause of the anomaly was a trip of the Bright Star/Commanded Attitude Monitor. The root causeContinue reading “SRPD Chandra X-Ray Observatory Recovers from Transition to Normal Sun Mode”
