The possibilities!
Able to resolve detail only 13,000,000 km across at 145 light-years?
13,000,000 km is about 0.09 A.U.[Astronomical Units].
That means that the VLT as an optical interferometer would be
able to separate the light of a gas-giant, 145 Light-Years away, from that of its primary, assuming the jovian-class planet is orbiting at an approximate radial distance of at least 0.2 A.U. from that of its primary...
Do you agree, Raoul?
cheers.
