Uitzenddatum: Mei 10, 2018

To see deeper into space, we will need much bigger telescopes. Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/ As astronomy seeks to find and study distant planets and peer further and more accurately into space and time, the limitations of ground based telescopes, especially optical telescopes, represents our largest barrier. Today we will examine what those limitations are, and ways to make vastly more enormous telescopes and arrays.
