How do you think a good research setup for this would even look like? And remember: anything that relies on current technology won't bring results until 2040s or 2050s.

Hmmm, it states 1:1.9 and 19. Which would mean an apparent aperture of 10mm. But it doesn't look that large from the picture. What gives?
