Interferometry

In astrophysics interferometry consists of observing a target simultaneously with several telescopes and subsequently combining the light beams received by each telescope by superposing them at a common focus. This ploy thereby produces an angular resolution similar to that of a giant telescope whose diameter would be equal to the separation between the individual telescopes.
