Centaurus X-2 (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Centaurus X-2 is the designation for an astronomical X-ray source initially, mistakenly, designated Crux X-1 when it was discovered. A Skylark sounding rocket designated SL 118 was launched at 20:20 local time on April 10, 1967, from Woomera, South Australia, carrying a large-area proportional counter, to perform a high-sensitivity survey for cosmic X-ray sources in the southern sky.
