NICER (Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer), an X-ray telescope, has been operating aboard the International Space Station since 2017. Its primary targets are neutron stars, which are the ultra-dense corpses of exploded stars. NICER's observations have helped astronomers narrow the range of models of how neutron stars are structured. [NASA]
