An all-sky X-ray map created by NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer) aboard the International Space Station. Bright arcs and loops trace NICER's movements as it tracks pulsars, spinning neutron stars emitting precise X-ray pulses. The celestial equator runs horizontally.

An all-sky map of X-ray emissions detected by the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) aboard the International Space Station. Bright arcs and loops converge on pulsars, spinning neutron stars emitting precise X-ray pulses. The image, compiled from 22 months of data, shows NICER's movements as it tracks these cosmic sources. The celestial equator runs horizontally across the center.
