Germany's eROSITA X-ray instrument released a new all-sky survey, revealing the location of about 900,000 individual soft X-ray sources. Unfortunately, eROSITA is an experiment flying on the Russian Spectrum-RG satellite, so controllers decided to shut down the experiment when Russia invited Ukraine. In just six months, the instrument detected more X-ray sources than had been discovered in all astronomy, including black holes, stars, galaxies, and exotic objects.
