Explanation:
This false-color radio wavelength picture
of an expanding stellar debris cloud
is the product of one of the
largest radio astronomy experiments ever.
Combining the output of 20 radio telescopes
scattered around planet Earth,
astronomers have produced this amazingly detailed
image of a supernova remnant just over 1.5 light-years across in
M82,
an intense star forming galaxy 12 million light-years away.
The radio astronomy
technique for creating the earth-sized
array of telescopes is known as
VLBI (very long baseline
interferometry).
The individual telescopes of the array are too far apart for
all their signals to be combined in "real time", so their output
was recorded on magnetic tapes which were
brought to a single location and
correlated.
This technique has produced the highest resolution
astronomical observations currently possible and
allows the exploration of such distant,
violent galactic environments
in unprecedented detail.
