Lobster Eye Imager Revolutionizes Astronomy.

Chinese researchers have developed an x-ray telescope called the Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) inspired by the unique structure of a lobster's eyes, which offers a wider field of view, enabling scientists to observe a greater area of the universe at any one time. The telescope has already captured high-quality images of a distant galaxy, revealing the presence of a supermassive black hole at its center. The researchers hope that their work will inspire further innovations in the field of x-ray astronomy, enabling us to learn even more about our cosmos.
