Interstellar Expeditions

As explained above, sufficiently high resolution imaging can feel like travelling to an object. Choose from the voyages below to experience the view as we approach some astronomical objects using our hypothetical x-ray interferometer.

Since we are viewing the objects in the x-ray band of the spectrum, they look different from the usual visible light appearance.
