European Researchers’ Night 2023: Are you ready to show your X-ray astronomy knowledge?

To celebrate this year’s European Researchers Night, we have prepared an international contest to learn about X-ray astronomy using the Quizizz platform. This contest is a joint international initiative of the following projects: the XMM2Athena project, the Athena Community Office, the Athena/X-IFU and Athena/WFI instruments consortia, and the AHEAD2020 project.

The Quizizz is available here and consists of eight questions related to X-ray astronomy  information that can be easily found on the web portal of the different involved projects. Be aware that one question (identified by MSQ) has two valid answers!

Show us that you are an expert on X-ray astronomy by joining this initiative!
