Description: NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) spacecraft separates from the SpaceX Falcon 9 after launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on Dec. 9, 2021. On its two-year science mission, IXPE is going to explore some of the most extreme and mysterious objects in the universe – including black holes and pulsars – and the X-rays they emit. It is the first mission that will map the polarization of many of these objects.
