NASA, Boeing to Provide Update on Starliner Development

On Monday, Sept. 28, NASA and Boeing's top officials will host a news conference to discuss the progress of the Starliner spacecraft development and their plans for regular crewed flights to and from the International Space Station. The briefing will be held at 3 p.m. EDT at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The participants include NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, NASA’s Low Earth Orbit Program manager Dana Weigel, NASA astronaut John Mulholland, and Boeing Commercial Crew Program Manager Woody Hoburg.

Journalists accredited for the Crew-13 mission may attend the event in person, and must request the dial-in number from the Kennedy newsroom at least one hour before the start of the call.

Approaching the Photon Sphere

As before, from this orientation, the black hole’s enormous gravity bends light to make two discernible images of the constellation Orion. You now descend to the photon sphere.

  • Black hole's immense gravity warps light to create two visible images of Orion.
  • Photon sphere allows light to orbit black hole in circular path.
  • Light from outside photon sphere cannot reach observer from beneath.

Circling the Black Hole at the Photon Sphere

You currently sit at the black hole’s photon sphere, where light can travel endlessly in a circle due to the star’s great gravitational pull.

  • Spacecraft orbits black hole's photon sphere
  • Einstein ring appears above photon sphere
  • Stars magnified and move rapidly across sky
