"Unveiling the Universe: Largest X-Ray Map Reveals Over 1 Million High-Energy Objects"
The eROSITA space telescope has released the largest map of high-energy sources in the universe, detecting over 900,000 unique sources including 710,000 supermassive black holes in other galaxies, 180,000 X-ray emitting stars from our own, and 12,000 galaxy clusters. This data, collected over six months, surpasses the achievements of previous flagship missions in nearly 25 years. The eROSITA collaboration has published 200 papers and submitted 50 more for peer-review, revealing unprecedented discoveries in X-ray astronomy, including filaments between galaxy clusters, black holes erupting quasi-periodically, and over 1,000 superclusters of galaxies. The release of public data is expected to lead to further groundbreaking research and may help better constrain cosmological models.
