Explore the scientific impact of ESA’s (the European Space Agency's) XMM-Newton observatory for its 20th anniversary in space, as told by Ph.D. scientists whose work the mission enabled. XMM-Newton carries three X-ray telescopes with an unprecedentedly large collecting area, and an optical monitor — the first flown on an X-ray observatory. XMM-Newton’s telescopes and its ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations of many targets, including active galaxies powered by supermassive black holes, star formation in galaxies, and X-ray flares from stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. • Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center • Scott Wiessinger (USRA): Lead Producer • Kim Weaver (NASA/GSFC): Lead Scientist • Francis Reddy (University of Maryland College Park): Lead Science Writer • Music: Fast Motion and Drive to Succeed both from Killer Tracks • This video is public domain and may be downloaded at: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13199
