Dr. Michael Muno continues his discussion in part II of his blog.
While focused on the present, Mike Muno, an astrophysicist at Caltech, has thoughts about where he would like to see his research go in the future.  In this post, he discusses what he hopes to be studying with X-rays in the upcoming years.

Dr. Michael Muno is an astrophysicist who uses Chandra, among other telescopes, to study some of the most exotic objects in the Universe: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. He's currently a post-doctoral fellow at the Space Radiation Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. He has spent time at both UCLA and MIT after receiving his Ph.D. from MIT in 1997.

Well, it's finally time for us to dip our X-ray toe (yes, we claim all things high-energy) into the world of blogging.  This current incarnation is our attempt to work out the technology while we experiment with content.  The plan is to include such topics as the most recent image or press release, new innovations on the website, and the latest in our formal education efforts.

We are attempting to dip our X-ray toe (yes, we claim all things high-energy) into the world of blogging.  This current iteration is our first step -- a chance to work out the technology while we begin to experiment with various types of content.  The plan is to include topics such as the most recent image or press release, new features to the website, the latest in our educational efforts, and more.
