Abstract
We outline a plan for NPOI for 2020-2030 that will provide the highest resolution visible-light system on the planet, with multi-km baselines and sub-mas imaging. This capability will resolve the sizes and shapes of stars, resolve AGNs, image protoplanetary disks, and observe the passage of exoplanets across their stellar disks.
