    ... starlight can break water vapour in the atmospheres of exoplanets into hydrogen and oxygen.” This happens when photons of a certain energy break the bonds of molecules into their constituent atoms. This is a process known as photodissociation and...

    ... in. As this material is accreted onto the black hole it can reach a temperature of around 105 K whilst emitting energetic photons at optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray wavelengths. These X-ray sources have been mistaken in the past for fast...

    .... To determine how the Moon formed, CubeX would use a technique called X-ray fluorescence, or XRF to capture “fluorescing” photons with a tiny X-ray optic and an onboard spectrometer. XRF works by detecting X-rays emitted from individual atoms...
