NASA recently shared an image of the whole sky showing 22 months of X-ray data recorded by NASA's Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) payload aboard the International Space Station (ISS) during its nighttime slews between targets. NICER’s primary goals require that it target and track cosmic sources as the space station orbits the Earth every 93 minutes. But when the Sun sets and night falls on the orbital outpost, the NICER team keeps its detectors active while the instrument goes from one target to another, which can occur eight times each orbit.
