Nasa is about to acquire a new viewpoint on some of the most extreme universal phenomena. NASA launched its Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer mission, or IXPE, in the early morning hours of Thursday to analyse X-rays emitted by black holes and neutron stars and the satellite was safely launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1 a.m also, ET on Thursday aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA and the Italian Space Agency collaborated on the spacecraft, which carries three telescopes. IXPE is the first space observatory of its sort. The satellite will be able to view polarization, which is a frequently ignored element of cosmic ray sources. Extremes produce X-rays, which are an extremely intense wavelength of light. This involves intense magnetic fields, item collisions, explosions, scorching temperatures, and quick revolutions in space. The signature of what caused this light is essentially stored in it, yet X-rays cannot reach the earth due to the Earth's atmosphere. This is why X-ray telescopes in space are needed. Polarized light carries the imprint of its source as well as what it went through along the route. IXPE could help scientists better comprehend the remnants of exploded stars, such as black holes and neutron stars, their surroundings, and how they produce X-rays, by studying the polarization of cosmic X-rays. Sensitive polarization detectors are among the satellite's eyes on the universe. The X-rays will be observed by the telescopes and sent into detectors, which will be able to record images of the X-rays and measure their polarization.
