Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry

Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry (Space VLBI) is a technique used in astronomy to observe celestial objects with high precision by linking multiple distant radio telescopes. Instead of being on the ground, these telescopes are in space, such as on satellites. They work together to capture radio waves from sources like quasars or black holes, effectively acting as a single, enormous telescope. By measuring the signal differences between the telescopes, scientists can create detailed images and gather information about the universe's structure and behavior, leading to advancements in our understanding of astrophysics.
