"Unveiling the Universe: Largest High-Energy Source Map Revealed"
Scientists have released the largest X-ray map of the universe, revealing over 900,000 high-energy cosmic sources, including more than 700,000 supermassive black holes. The data was collected by the eROSITA X-ray telescope on board the Russian-German satellite Spektrum-RG, marking the largest collection of X-ray sources ever published. The map also includes 180,000 X-ray emitting stars in the Milky Way, 12,000 clusters of galaxies, and various other exotic sources. This marks a significant milestone in X-ray astronomy, with eROSITA discovering more sources in six months than previous flagship missions have in nearly 25 years.
