NuStar In Orbit
Artist's concept of NuSTAR on orbit. NuSTAR has a 10-m (30') mast that deploys after launch to separate the optics modules, right, from the detectors in the focal plane, left. The spacecraft, which controls NuSTAR's pointings, and the solar panels are with the focal plane. NuSTAR has two identical optics modules in order to increase sensitivity.

NASA is hosting a teleconference Wednesday afternoon to announce new black hole observations from its Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton telescope.

The NASA event will feature remarks by NuStar principal investigator Fiona Harrison of the California Institute of Technology, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics astronomer Guido Risalti and Arvind Parmar, the head of the ESA's Astrophysics and Fundamental Physics Missions Division.

And all of the exciting revelations from the two advanced X-ray telescopes will be available to watch online via livestream beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Here are all the details about how to follow along live with the teleconference, along with links to various streams, as provided by NASA:

"Visuals will be posted at the start of the teleconference on NASA's NuSTAR site at nasa.gov/nustar.

Audio of the teleconference will be streamed live on NASA's website at nasa.gov/newsaudio.

Audio and visuals will be streamed live online at ustream.tv/nasajpl2"
