Is there any reason to think of an array of telescopes, like the VLA? Like, multiple smaller telescopes scattered at large distances? Or is that too difficult to coordinate?
- lmilcin 8y agoThis has a lot of sense and shouldn't be too difficult to coordinate. This has already been tested by LISA Pathfinder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LISA_Pathfinder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LISA_Pathfinder) and proven to be feasible. Still, the reson here to get something far away from Earth as a general is not to have closer observation point but to have large distance between array nodes.
