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.

ralfhn•1mo ago

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?
