The #Einstein Probe lifted off 🚀 atop a #LongMarch2C rocket from southwestern #China’s 🇨🇳 Xichang* Satellite Launch Centre at 📆 3.05pm on Tuesday. The Einstein Probe is led by researchers of the #Chinese Academy of Sciences and has major instrument contributions from the #ESA and the #MaxPlanck Institute for #Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany 🇩🇪. It can observe an area of sky more than 10,000 full moons’ size at any given time. In contrast, existing large X-ray telescopes, such as #Nasa’s Chandra #Xray Observatory, can only image a section of sky smaller than one full moon at a time. It means the Einstein Probe could observe almost the entire night sky 🌌 in just three #orbits around #Earth, or under five hours ⏱️. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3247782/einstein-probe-china-launches-powerful-space-x-ray-observatory-understand-flashes-night-sky

There is an even more recent paper that in detail shows that wide binary stars are actually evidence against modified gravity.

#Brazil’s 🇧🇷 National Institute for #SpaceResearch is rapidly losing funding 💵, brains 🧠 - and hope. In the 📆 1970s, it became the first #SpaceAgency in any country to monitor forests 🌳 using #satellite 🛰️ data. Data from #PRODES and #DETER helped Brazil create and enforce policies that were key to reducing annual #deforestation 🪓 in the #Amazon by 82% between 📆 2004 and 2014.
The decline 📉 accelerated after #Bolsonaro took office, despite his campaign promises to prioritize #science. His government cut MCTI’s overall budget by 35% in the first 3 years of his administration. #INPE’s annual budget plunged by 63% from 2010. The last time INPE was allowed to add permanent staff 👨‍🔬 was in 📆 2012. https://www.science.org/content/article/brazil-s-space-research-institute-source-national-pride-struggling-survival
