Einstein Probe detects an X-ray flare from nearby star

This is not very newsworthy, stellar flares are common and known to emit X-rays.
martinpw•1mo ago
This threw me at first. There was an NASA X-ray imaging telescope in the late 70s/early 80s called Einstein:

https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/einstein/heao2.html

But this is a new Chinese instrument, also an X-ray telescope, also called Einstein:

Chinese + ESA contributions

Pedantically, it's Einstein Probe (EP), not Einstein. Confusingly, in Chinese it has another name, Tianguan, commemorating the observation of the supernova which created the Crab Nebula.

For a second I was really confused about what Epstein had to do with x-rays
justarandomname•1mo ago
SAME, I thought there was a bit flip in the files or something.
aussieguy1234•1mo ago
If measured the way we measure solar flares (M1, X1 etc) what would this one be rated as?
