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.
"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
