Summary:
- NASA's Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) has detected X-ray emissions from the debris of recurring cosmic crashes between neutron stars.
- These collisions eject material that forms a cloud of debris orbiting the merged object, which NICER can observe and study to better understand the properties of neutron stars.
- The data gathered by NICER provides valuable insights into the extreme physics and environments found in these cataclysmic events, which are crucial for advancing our knowledge of the universe.
