The Black Hole Imager
« on: February 15, 2008, 01:09:45 AM »
CURRENT ATTRACTIONS
While working on designing an X-ray navigation system for NASA's next-
generation Black Hole Imager, Dr. Keith Gendreau, a physicist at the
Goddard Space Flight Center, developed the world's first X-ray
communication system.

The Black Hole Imager is one of the vision missions that is in the
Beyond Einstein Program. Its objective is to resolve the event horizon
of a super massive black hole. It will do this by extremely high-
angular-resolution x-ray imaging that is better than a tenth of a
microarc second - about a million times finer than the Hubble Space
Telescope.
