In this way, an array of dishes can make images of cosmic sources with very high angular resolution without having to build a single large telescope. (eventhorizontelescope.org)
Interferometry is relatively new to astronomy, and Georgia State's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy array was the first facility to use interferometry to image a star similar to the Sun in 2007. (sciencedaily.com)
Around the same time, at Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA), astronomer Harold McAlister championed an interferometry machine combining the light from six separate telescopes on California's Mount Wilson. (discovermagazine.com)
