...dawn of a new era in our understanding of the universe." In honor of the man whose relativity theory has already contributed so much toward that understanding, the satellite, called HEAO 2 (for High Energy Astronomy Observatory 2), was last week unofficially renamed the Einstein Observatory...
Reaching out to the edges of the known universe (10 billion light years), the observatory's x-ray telescope will be able to detect and study radiat resources at thousand times faint than those observed previously. Riccardo Giacconi, professor of Astronomy and director of the new satellite (dubbed the "Einstein Observatory"), said last week...
Plans call for "Einstein" to take about 3000 pictures each year of a wide range of cosmic phenomena, including neutron stars, pulsars, quasars, clusters of galaxies, and the background radiation that some scientists believe is a remnant of the Big Bang, the explosion of matter that started the universe...
...next item on HEAO-2's agenda is a deep space survey, set for later this week. But for now, a hand written sign at the Center for Astrophysics says it all: "EINSTEIN WORKS GYG X-1 IMAGED...
...High Energy Astrophysical Observatory-2 (HEAO-2, dubbed the "Einstein Observatory" by project officials), primarily designed and controlled by HSCFA astronomers, should provide scientists with the first detailed X-ray photographs of various cosmic radiation sources, including pulsars, quasars, supernovae, black holes and clusters of galaxies. In space, HEAO-2's X-ray telescope can operate with a thousand times more sensitivity than similar earthbound instruments...
