Galaxy-spanning radio telescope nears completion
November 16th, 2011
Over one hundred years in the making, the Astoundingly Long Baseline Interferometer (ALBI) is about to see first light. The much criticized, repeatedly delayed, and over-budget joint asari-salarian observatory is set to tune into radio waves from distant galaxies next week. The largest telescope in our galaxy, ALBI is not really a single facility, but rather several disparate radio telescope arrays scattered on planets throughout the galactic disk. ALBI works by routing simultaneous data streams from these separate arrays through extranet buoys, and joining them at the Citadel within a giant computer cluster known as the Correlator. In this manner, ALBI can produce maps that are a trillion times more detailed and sensitive than similar efforts limited to telescopes on individual planets (known as VLBI, or Very Long Baseline Interferometrs).
