With the Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer, the close binary pair in the triple system Algol was spatially resolved. We will present multi-epoch aperture synthesis images with milli-arcsecond resolution of the Algol triple system. The NPOI observed the Algol system at wavelengths between 5500 to 8500 Å with a resolution of approximately 25 Å. We will discuss the orbital solution, simultaneous observations with the VLBA and optical light-ratio results. The Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer is a joint project of the Naval Research Laboratory and the US Naval Observatory, in cooperation with Lowell Observatory, and is funded by the Office of Naval Research and the Oceanographer of the Navy. R.T.Z. is thankful for the support of a Fizeau Exchange Visitor Program grant from the European Interferometry Initiative which supported this work. This work was partially supported by National Science Foundation grant AST-0908440 to M.T.R.
