"China Launches 'Einstein Probe' to Study X-ray Bursts in Space"
TL;DR
China has launched the Einstein probe, equipped with instruments to detect X-ray bursts from phenomena like black holes and neutron star collisions, in a collaborative effort with the European Space Agency and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. The probe's Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) and Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) will scan the sky for X-ray emissions, potentially shedding light on gravitational wave events and high-energy processes in space.
