Observing in X-rays, #NewAthena will map million-degree-hot gas permeating the space between galaxies.
It will do so to answer how and why ordinary matter assembles into the structures that we see today.

I wrote a short note on why @AthenaXobs and it's amazing @AthenaXIFU instrument will be revolutionary for supernova science ✨
But also for the way we view and analyze our spectro-imaging data !
More below 👇
#Science | Did you know that the calcium in our bones, the iron in our blood & the oxygen we breathe are largely the result of stellar processes, particularly supernovae? 👀💫
🔗 Focus on the reconstruction of a 3D view of stellar explosions ▶ x-ifu.irap.omp.eu/science/re… @fabacero
Supernovae #Science, as @AthenaXIFU will unveil, a paradigm shift in the X-ray data analysis 🔽

Since the end of last year, we've been working on the expansion of our cleanrooms capacity from 1,000 m² to 1,300 m² at our HQ in Sassenheim (🇳🇱). This prepares cosine for the mass production of #SPO for #NewATHENA & other remote sensing activities. 🌌
