including Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), is a multidisciplinary field that traditionally involves astronomy, geodesy, signal processing, and electronic design. In recent years, however, ...

there’s only so much clear sky so radio astronomy is the preferred technique. Even though they’re so close to the equator, a lot of the northern stars can be seen as well. His interferometer ...

See Fig 2 for an example of a radio galaxy observed with MeerKAT. The global astronomy community is collaborating on building the next large radio telescope interferometer, called the Square Kilometre ...

The findings are published in the journal Nature Astronomy. "The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer can be considered the first extremely large telescope, so it's very exciting to prove this ...
