telescope array
A telescope array is a collection of multiple telescopes working together to observe astronomical objects. Instead of relying on a single telescope, these arrays combine the data collected from each telescope to create clearer and more detailed images of distant stars, galaxies, and other celestial phenomena. By coordinating their observations, telescope arrays can achieve higher resolution and sensitivity, making them more effective at studying the universe. This approach allows astronomers to gather more information and make discoveries that would be difficult or impossible with a single telescope. Examples include the Very Large Array in New Mexico and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile.
