On 15 March 2024, the Einstein Probe detected EP240315a, a soft X-ray burst from 12.5 billion light-years away, lasting over 17 minutes—the longest duration observed from such an ancient explosion. Linked to gamma-ray burst GRB 240315C , this event showed a six-minute delay between X-rays and gamma rays, never observed before.
2024 YR 4 is an asteroid with an estimated diameter of 40 to 90 metres (130 to 300 ft) that is classified as an Apollo-type (Earth-crossing) near-Earth object. From 27 January to 20 February 2025, it had an impact rating of 3 on the Torino scale , with a maximum estimated probability of 3.1% that it would impact Earth on 22 December 2032.
Einstein Probe, X-ray space telescope mission by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in partnership with ESA and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) dedicated to time-domain high-energy astrophysics, was launched on 9 January 2024. [4]
China and Europe partnered on the Einstein probe, which will use ‘lobster eyes’ to hunt for the X-ray light. China launches Einstein probe that’s modeled after lobster eyes and designed to ...
The space rock is formally named 2024 YR4. Scientists say the risk of it making contact with Earth is remote — with NASA giving it as high as a 3.1% chance before reducing its estimate to 0.28% ...

This is a list of space probes that have left Earth orbit (or were launched with that intention but failed), organized by their planned destination. It includes planetary probes, solar probes, and probes to asteroids and comets, but excludes lunar missions, which are listed separately at List of lunar probes and List of Apollo missions.
