Scientific paper
A large array of astronomical X-ray detectors can be constructed at a lunar base, and maintained there for a long time. Such an array permits development of a new astronomical subdiscipline based on collection of very large numbers of X-ray photons from bright X-ray sources. With such data qualitatively new experimental issues can be addressed, in gravitational physics, nuclear physics, and magnetospheric effects. Fundamental questions such as the existence of General Relativistic instabilities in rapidly rotating objects or the probing of orbits near a black hole can be investigated.
