Dies ist das erste Nahaufnahmebild eines Sterns außerhalb unserer Galaxie

Looks like it just exploded?

Combining images from multiple telescopes like this takes insane precision. This isn’t just adding images together to reduce noise, it’s about combing the light itself so the images interfere and create a virtual massive telescope. If you’ve even coughed around an interferometer you’ll get how precise this has to be. I’m excited for everything else that comes out of this telescope array.

Probably a dumb question, but why wouldn’t they use this tech to image a star much closer to our own? Wouldn’t the image be clearer?

That’s a better image than some security cameras.
