Brian Walsh’s LEXI Telescope Heading to the Moon
Last week (3/6/24), Associate Professor Brian Walsh hosted an event for their NASA-sponsored Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI), an x-ray telescope which will be going to the moon later this year. Over the course of the last fifteen years, Professor Walsh and colleagues have worked to develop novel x-ray imaging system to better image […]
