XRISM peers into the 'eye of the storm' — measuring cyclone‑like outflows around supermassive black holes NASA's XRISM X‑ray observatory has for the first time probed the 'eye of the storm' around supermassive black holes, resolving ionized outflows and directly measuring their speeds. This shift from static imaging to velocity measurements delivers new, quantifiable constraints on AGN-driven feedback and host-galaxy evolution.

Goddard paper identifies a target HWO wavelength to separate CO2 from methane/water A new NASA Goddard study compares the Habitable Worlds Observatory's ability to distinguish carbon dioxide from methane and water signatures and identifies a specific wavelength band engineers should prioritize. The result provides actionable design guidance for HWO instruments and starlight-suppression systems toward direct imaging of Earth-like exoplanet atmospheres.
