XPoSAT, India's first mission to study black holes and neutron stars, has captured light from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Short for X-ray Polarimeter Satellite, XPoSAT is India's first dedicated polarimetry mission to study the dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions, which means the spacecraft will analyse X-rays emitted by celestial bodies such as black holes, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, and pulsar wind nebulae by measuring the beams of
