The XRISM science team, including members from Nagoya University in Japan, has explained how a galaxy cluster maintains its heat, despite emitting X-rays that cool the hot gas at its center. The group discovered the existence of a fast-moving, high-temperature gas flow in the center of the Centaurus cluster. The result suggests how the cool down of the hot gas is avoided and why clusters look like they do.

Global interest in human spaceflight has ignited passions for the emerging commercial space ecosystem, and efforts to expand space research and related manufacturing are taking center stage in Ohio.  

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba estimated Japan's spring leaf flush dates in recent years using data from the Second-generation Global Imager (SGLI) sensor onboard the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Global Change Observation Mission-Climate (GCOM-C) satellite. Their analysis revealed that in 2023 and 2024, years characterized by exceptionally high spring temperatures, leaf flush occurred significantly earlier than usual, indicating that elevated temperatures linked to climate change are affecting Japanese ecosystems.
