India will begin the New Year today with an effort to solve one of the biggest mysteries of the universe -- black holes. A rocket will lift off today carrying an advanced astronomy observatory meant to study black holes and neutron stars. With the successful launch of XPoSAT or the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite, at 9.10 am , India will become the second country after the US to have an 'observatory' to study black holes. The new mission comes on the heels of India's successful moon mission Chandrayaan.
