Yet another space mission to try to shed light on the mysteries of gravity:

Due for launch this coming Saturday is a joint collaboration between NASA, ESA and Japan's Space Agency called the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission.
By observing the speed and composition of matter and particle jets near black holes, scientists hope to gain insight into the potential warping of spacetime.

As a top Particle Physicist, which includes X-Rays, I can only tell you what I know:
Bertha Roentgen was horrified what her husband Wilhelm Roentgen got up to every day in his Laboratory:

He photographed her hand with his newly discovered X-Rays.
She never went to the X-Ray Laboratory again. Whole thing wreaked of Death, in her opinion. 🙂

RE: X-ray telescope,
”The first imaging X-ray telescope was made by a team of scientists under the direction of Riccardo Giacconi at American Science and Engineering in Cambridge, MA. It was flown on a small sounding rocket in 1963 and made crude images of hot spots in the upper atmosphere of the Sun.”

Which was followed by the first orbiting X-ray telescope which flew on Skylab in the early 1970s.
The above X-ray image of the Sun was taken by Skylab in 1973.
I won the office pool at Goddard Space Flight Center, satellite operations, for when Skylab would reenter and (hopefully) burn up. That was July 1979.
The Goddard Space Flight Center has a site intended for students age 14 and up, and for anyone interested in learning about our universe.
So it's set at just the right level for me! 🤓

And here's some information especially for Steve. Recently, NASA discovered X-rays coming from the rings of Uranus! 😀
One possible explanation is that energetic electrons and protons in space are colliding with the planet's rings and causing them to glow in X-rays.
Shown above is an image from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory superimposed on an optical image from the Keck-I Telescope.
She was not too far from the truth. I recall reading about these machines in the shoe departments of department stores and such:

As a young person raised in the Northern plains of India, I learnt Ek, Do ,Teen, Cha, Panch on my Ayah's knee (12345) beforemost of my British Contemporaries. I have this to say:
I am worried!
Chandrayaan-3 rover seems to be headed into a Lunar Crater!
We must just hope for some sort of recovery from an extremely difficult situation.

The rover, named Pragyaan, only moves at a speed of 1cm per second.
That, in conjunction with its 3D view of the surrounding terrain, should allow the ground controllers adequate warning of impending obstacles.

That’s really zooming compared to the free electron drift velocity in conductors.

No worries Steve, the will just ask one of the studio men to give it a little push and off it goes ;-D

I say this as a Qualified Physicist:
Whole Chandrayaan-3 mission wreaks of Hoey to me!
Doctor Becky Smethurst is not getting involved:
Doctor Sabine Hossenfelder is skeptical:
We are, after all, Scientists. We rely on the nature of Proof, if donning a Mathematical hat. So far, none at all. 🙁

Bbc and other media outlets in britain all all so fired up against chandrayaan for some reason. I dont know ,but i follow primier legue and all those sports outlet are so full of bullcrap for no reason. Untill now i didnt knew the whole mass media in britain was like that. What is british population consuming. Sunshine garry neville.
You have to excuse me but: the Indian got page about the project looks like someting form the beginning of www. And the video stream:
It has almost zero real time footage - just animation and a lot of worried or cheering people in a control room that also looks to be from the 80s or there about... the dubious leadership is basking in the glorious achievements - classic "hmhm state" propaganda ;-D
The rover looks like its gonna run down a crater the first thing it does - why was the video stoped there - did the rover get stuck?
All very strange... I dont doubt that it all took place at the location intended but the coverage is really sub-par and I do understand any critics...
Sorry v-r... but it doesn't look very "hot"....
But you beat the russ harrow... congrats!
