- The world's most powerful virtual telescope
- Astronomers have successfully combined three telescopes located on Mauna Kea in Hawaii to create the largest virtual telescope for short wavelengths. The Extended SubMillimeter Array eSMA connects the signals from the SubMillimeter Array SMA, consisting of eight dishes with 6-meter diameter, with those from the 15-meter James Clerk Maxwell Telescope...

- Best guess: Paul Allen's Telescope Array won't find any aliens: because there are no aliens to find
- If you want to talk about the ultimate broadband communications over distances, you would have to cite radio telescopes that are tuned in to listen to signals from alien civilizations. Last week at someplace called Hat Creek, Calif., Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen attended the unveiling and activation...

- How to carry a telescope
- Obviously, it depends on its size. But here I'm speaking about the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) which will be fully operational in 2012 and will be composed initially of 66 high-precision telescopes. These 12-meter submillimeter quality antennas will weigh about 115 tons and be installed at an altitude of...

- Microshutters for the Webb Space Telescope
- In case you dont remember, the Webb Space Telescope will replace Hubble, probably after 2011, and should be able to catch phenomena which happened 13.5 billion light-years ago (read more for a Hubble vs. Webb comparison). At these distances, the instruments onboard will need to be more precise than ever....
