India Successfully Launch a Satellite Mission to Study Black Holes
India has launched a satellite into space, which will help solve the mystery of black holes.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (EXPOSAT) from the Bay of Bengal on the morning of January 1.
The 260-ton satellite will investigate black holes, the mysteries of which scientists have not yet fully understood.
A post by ISRO on X announced the successful launch of the satellite.
The $30 million satellite will try to find sources of radiation and other elements near black holes. This mission will operate for more than 5 years.
Through this satellite, India has become the second country in the world, after the US, to launch a mission to study black holes. NASA had launched a mission in this regard in 2021.
ISRO claims that ExpoSat is the first scientific satellite, which can probe X-rays emitted by various sources.

A black hole is the mystery of the universe that has been given many names, sometimes it is called the hole from one universe to another universe, and sometimes it is called the pit of death.
Any star becomes a black hole when all its matter is trapped in a small space. If we were to squeeze our sun into a space the size of a tennis ball, it would turn into a black hole.
