RE: Radio Telescopes - The strange thing called interferometry by leaky20

That's very interesting. I'm not smart enough to understand all of it but I think I understand parts. It's interesting that multiple telescopes are used to cover a specific pattern in space. I thought they were all pointed in different directions to observe different areas. The information on the cooling system. Is very cool as well. I didnt know any of that.Those pictures that you took are incredible. It looks like quite the site to see. Very cool!

Thanks, @leaky20 for your visit and kind words! :) 

To be honest I really didn't put much effort into explaining... We spent about 7 days learning about all the stuff... and still apart from a bit of an upgrade to the basic concept (which I already knew before) I have no idea how it functions. :) 

There is this fly's eyes mode - which is used to detect a type of objects called FRB - Fast Radio Bursts - that just happen out of the dark in the sky and disappear... now they might appear again, but that is completely random. This method is used on a different [set of telescopes](https://www.atnf.csiro.au/projects/askap/index.html) with 36 antennas.
