And finally, Friday is for the Holland-Fishman Space Telescope, closing our launch week in x-rays: the light of exploded stars and superheated gas! A few of its best, from our Horizons program.

Tycho’s supernova remnant, the expanding debris of an exploded star, about 13,000 light-years away in Cassiopeia.The Perseus galaxy cluster, about 250 million light-years away. Its hot gas carries ripples driven by outbursts from the supermassive black hole at its centre.The Crab Nebula in x-rays: rings and jets driven by the spinning neutron star at its centre, about 6,500 light-years away in Taurus.
