X-ray space telescopes can be used to study big events like the formation of black holes.

But, until recently, their field of vision has been relatively narrow – making it difficult to capture this unexpected activity.

By mimicking the way lobsters’ eyes work, scientists around the world have designed new telescopes that can survey much larger areas. Source: BBC News, 8/11/2021

Post factum,

О, сколько нам открытий чудных
Готовят просвещенья дух
И опыт, сын ошибок трудных,
И гений, парадоксов друг,
И случай, бог изобретатель. (  А. С. Пушкин, 1829 г.)
