x1,000 Resolution of JWST But x1,000 Cheaper
Interferometers are a great tool for getting incredible resolution without building giant mirrors. Why don't all telescopes use it? What projects should we expect and what could we get from them? What are the challenges? Find out in this interview!

Among many great interviews here, this one stands out in a positive way. Thanks Fraser.
Wow! I hope I live long enough to see some of these ideas come to fruition. Thank you Fraser for another great interview. Without all your ability to make contact with so many experts in the field of astronomy we would be in a much less knowledgeable state about the universe.
This is imho one of the best interviews on this channel 🥇 Detailed explanations, interesting stories, great audio quality. Keep it up! 👍
I put it a close second to the August 12 interview with Jeff Greason on multistage propulsion for Interstellar travel. Both very clearly detailed. Well done, Fraser!
When was it first theorized, and then implemented, that multiple telescopes can be used to get better images of the same object in space? And who was it?
