Nancy Evans of the CfA holds a
conversation at the Chandra booth.

|
Dr. Michael Garcia of the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics begins his
presentation of Chandra's
latest results on black holes, one the most profound
predictions to come from Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
|
|
Garcia explains how his team used the
Chandra X-ray Observatory to provide new evidence that
"event horizons," the one-way membrane surrounding black holes,
truly exist.
|
|
Continuing to elaborate on the data,
Dr. Ramesh Narayan, also of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics, provides details for so-called X-ray novas,
binary systems that contain either black holes or neutron
stars.
|
|
Garcia and Narayan enjoy a moment of
relaxation during the press conference attended by
dozens of reporters and many major media outlets.
