Click For Summary

Quantum astronomy explores a method for combining light from multiple long baseline interferometers to enhance astronomical observations. Initial proof-of-concept hardware has shown promising results, indicating the feasibility of this approach. The technique aims to create effective telescopes that can span hundreds of kilometers, significantly improving resolution and detail in astronomical imaging. This advancement could revolutionize how we study celestial objects and phenomena. The ongoing research highlights the potential of quantum technologies in the field of astronomy.

It is a proposed method for relaying the light from multiple telescope, long baseline, interferometers.

Some proposed hardware has passed the initial proof-of-concept stage.

Thread 'Looking for info about the Sombrero Galaxy'

Hi, I saw someone with an avatar on a different forum that turns out to be the sombrero galaxy. AI says, too distant to know much about, aside from billions of starts, potentially tons of planets, and a supermassive black hole in the center. I find that setup fascinating, despite knowing close to nothing about the universe. So I ask: could anyone point me in the direction of, or provide information about this galaxy? I do not trust AI beyond general information, and I like to go pretty...
