Space exploration.

The photographers are following the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The X-ray astronomy mission to study black holes and neutron stars will be performed by the Falcon 9.
The X-ray observatory was launched into the sky Thursday to illuminate violent high-energy events in the universe.
The $214 million mission was launched from Kennedy Space Center. It's called IXPE, and it's a name for an X-ray explorer.
The most dramatic and extreme parts of the universe will be revealed by the observatory.
Brian Ramsey, NASA's deputy principal scientist, said this week that the X-ray sky will be opened up byIXPE.
The operations should start next month. The Italian Space Agency is working with NASA.
