TL;DR Summary

China successfully launched the Einstein Probe, a spacecraft designed to observe the X-ray sky and study high-energy light from powerful cosmic objects such as black holes, neutron star collisions, and supernovas. The spacecraft, equipped with a Wide-field X-ray Telescope and a Follow-up X-ray Telescope, will monitor the night sky over Earth for three years to gather data on X-ray sources and provide insights into the physics of violent cosmic events. The mission is a collaboration between China, the European Space Agency, and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics.
