The Einstein probe brings new winds to X-ray astronomy.
"The Einstein Probe, launched on January 9, 2024, is a joint venture led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with contributions from ESA and MPE. Its goal is to study X-ray emissions from cosmic phenomena, enhancing our knowledge of the Universe and gravitational waves.

The next-generation tool for X-ray astronomy is the tool, that brings new and effective tools for X-ray astronomy. The X-ray telescope detects high-energy objects in the universe. The system uses the X-ray area in the electromagnetic spectrum to detect things like black holes. The X-ray observatories open new visions for the things that happen in stellar class black holes and impacts between neutron stars.
The first time X-ray satellites showed their effectiveness in finding black holes was the case when early X-ray satellite SAS Uhuru found a strange X-ray object in the Cygnus X-1. That object was the first stellar class black hole, that researchers knew. The difference between supermassive- and stellar-class black holes is that the energy level near stellar-class black holes is lower than near supermassive black holes.
That means those stellar-class black holes send mainly X-ray radiation. And supermassive black holes send mainly gamma-ray radiation. And X-ray astronomy might tell what type of particle sends gravitational waves. In models, gravity is like electromagnetic radiation. And there could be some kind of tensorial transformer. That turns gravitational waves into X- or gamma rays.
So when a black hole sends radiation the model goes like this. Near a black hole is some kind of impact area that turns gravity into gamma- or X-rays. And the main question is which is the primary radiation that comes straight when gravity waves impact with some particles? Does gravity wave impact form, gamma-, or X-rays as primary radiation?
The problem is that black holes send gravitational radiation or gravity waves. That means there is some kind of point or reaction near a black hole that turns gravity waves into the X- or gamma-rays. The question is which side that reaction turns gravity waves into electromagnetic radiation. Does first come gamma- or X-rays? That thing gives a hint about the size of the particle that sends gravity waves.
The X-ray satellites can also detect nuclear weapons, benefiting their X- and gamma-ray radiation.
The weakness of nuclear weapons is that their highly enriched radioactive material sends gamma- and X-ray radiation. In some visions missiles and optical guided bombs can be equipped with X- and gamma-ray detectors. Those detectors will make it possible that the missile or bomb will aim to nuclear missile silos or against flying nuclear weapons. The next-generation bombers would carry gamma- and X-ray cameras. That allows them to see hidden nuclear weapons.
But X- and gamma-ray satellites are effective intelligence tools. They can find uranium minerals. But those satellites can also see nuclear weapons and nuclear material storage even if they are well covered. That means the X-ray satellites can see radioactive material and nuclear plants even if they are in underground positions. Same way gamma- and X-ray satellites detect nuclear weapons. Because, that material sends gamma- and X-ray radiation.
