A map has been created that shows all the sources the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope has detected as it moves between specific targets (slew paths).

Astrophysicists used the NuSTAR X-ray telescope to study 52 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby merging galaxies to improve our understanding of the relationship between a black hole and the galaxy it lives in.
