[ESA Science @esascience]

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 !

Supernovae #Science, as @AthenaXIFU will unveil, a paradigm shift in the X-ray data analysis 🔽

[X-IFU @AthenaXIFU]

#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? 👀💫
