What telescope combines images and signals?

The Very Large Array (VLA) is a radio telescope that combines images and signals from multiple antennas to create detailed images of astronomical objects. By using a technique called interferometry, it synchronizes the signals received by each antenna, allowing for high-resolution imaging of radio waves from space. This capability enables astronomers to study a wide range of cosmic phenomena, from distant galaxies to pulsars.


Why are there telescopes of the very large array arranged so far apart?

The Very Large Array (VLA) telescopes are arranged far apart to enhance their ability to capture high-resolution images of celestial objects. By using an interferometric technique, the separation between the dishes allows them to simulate a much larger telescope, effectively increasing their angular resolution. This configuration enables astronomers to detect finer details in radio emissions from distant galaxies, stars, and other astronomical phenomena. Additionally, varying the distance between the antennas can provide a range of observational capabilities across different spatial frequencies.


How many sites does NRAO operate?

NRAO operates a few sites, including the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) across the United States, and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia.


What size can Light microscopes can magnify objects?

Most light micrscopes can be magnified to about 400, but a high tech light microscope can magnify up to 1500. According to my VLA (virtual learning) If this is what you are looking for, its 1,000 times __________________________________________________________________ -Up to about 1,000 times its size.

How is the VLA similar to an optical telescope?

well,both telescopes let you look into the ground into the inner core and you see deep in he atmosphere which is space. Errr... The Very Large Array is an array of radio-telescopes, i.e. it detects radio emissions from stars and similar. An optical telescope as its name suggests, collects visible light. The similarity is that increasing the aperture increases the radiation-gathering power by a square-law. In an optical telescope this is achieved by a larger mirror (or lens but most large telescopes are reflecting.) The VLA uses a "synthetic aperture" to gain the advantages of increasing its gathering area without the cost and complexity of building a single, very large dish.


Who operates the radio telescopes?

That would depend very much on which radio telescope you're talking about. The NRAO certainly operates several including the famous VLA.
