An x-ray source on sky-map.org
- Early morning April 27, 2025.
- I was browsing sky-map.org, fascinated by the x-ray view.
- I scrolled around, looking for bright x-ray sources.
- I then switched to an optical view to see the object in light.
- Each one revealed to be a galaxy.
- But this one looks like a star.
- What is this object?

Bangkok, officially known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon and colloquially as Krung Thep, is the capital and most populous city of Thailand. The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in central Thailand and has an estimated population of 10.539 million as of 2020, 15.3 percent of the country’s population. Over 14 million people (22.2 percent) lived within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region at the 2010 census, making Bangkok an extreme primate city, dwarfing Thailand’s other urban centres in both size and importance to the national economy.
