In my experience pictures from radio antennae are far less accurate than pictures from other areas of the EMR spectrum, why is this?

Why does the principle behind VBLI work for radio but not for visible?twofish-quant said:Now things are very different for VLBI. With VLBI you use the rotation of the Earth and computers to create an artificial telescope that can be the size of the earth. In that situation, you can get pictures that are much more detailed than you have in visible.

Radio telescopes are less detailed than optical telescopes because radio waves have longer wavelengths compared to visible light. This means that the resolution of a radio telescope is lower, making it less detailed.
No, radio telescopes cannot produce high-quality images like optical telescopes due to their longer wavelengths. The images produced by radio telescopes are often blurred and less detailed.
The main factors that affect the level of detail in radio telescope images are the size and sensitivity of the telescope, as well as the frequency of the radio waves being observed. A larger and more sensitive telescope can capture more precise details, while higher frequency waves can also improve the resolution.
Yes, there are several advantages to using radio telescopes. They can detect and study objects that are invisible or difficult to observe with optical telescopes, such as gas and dust clouds, radio galaxies, and pulsars. They are also less affected by interference from light pollution or atmospheric conditions.
Yes, there is ongoing research to improve the level of detail in radio telescope images. One approach is to use multiple telescopes in an array, which can increase the resolution and produce more detailed images. Another method is to develop new technologies and techniques, such as using advanced data processing algorithms, to enhance the quality of the images captured by radio telescopes.
