Astronomers working with NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) have found a pulsating dead star beaming with the energy of about 10 million suns. The object, previously thought to be a black hole because it is so powerful, is in fact a pulsar – the
Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, is giving the wider astronomical community a first look at its unique X-ray images of the cosmos. The first batch of data from the black-hole hunting telescope was made publicly available on August 29,
NASA’s state-of-the-art telescope NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) captured image of a giant black hole in center of the Milky way. NuSTAR, launched June 13, is the only telescope capable of producing focused images of the highest-energy X-rays. The
NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array – NuSTAR was launched into the morning skies over the central Pacific Ocean at 9 a.m. PDT (16:00 UTC) Wednesday, June 13, 2012 beginning its mission to unveil secrets of hidden black holes, exploded stars and other exotic
