While the Einstein Probe undergoes the process of testing and tuning its instruments, the telescope will begin full scientific activities in June 2024.
The Einstein Probe X-ray space telescope observes the Universe from a height of 600 km above the Earth’s surface. Chinese scientists present the first images of space. Space writes about it.
The Einstein Probe uses lobster eye technology. This is a wide angle of vision, which mimics the visual organs of a sea creature.
The telescope detected the first X-ray transient on February 19. It is a long-lasting gamma-ray burst event caused by the explosion of a massive star. Since then, the instrument has discovered 141 more such processes, including 127 stars emitting X-ray bursts.
In addition, the Einstein Probe imaged several well-known X-ray objects, including the supernova remnant Puppis A and the giant globular star cluster Omega Centauri.

Let’s recall that Hubble previously photographed the spiral galaxy IC 1776, located at a distance of more than 150 million light years from Earth.
The ESA telescope has made a unique discovery in our galaxy
