（爱因斯坦探针构想图）

China plans to launch a new X-ray astronomical satellite, the Einstein probe, at the end of this year, which is expected to capture the first rays of light from supernova explosions, help search for and pinpoint gravitational wave sources, and discover more distant and fainter celestial bodies and fleeting mysterious phenomena in the universe.

我国计划于今年底发射一颗新的X射线天文卫星——爱因斯坦探针，有望捕捉超新星爆发出的第一缕光，帮助搜寻和精确定位引力波源，发现宇宙中更遥远、更暗弱的天体和转瞬即逝的神秘现象。
