Re: Big eyes

Pretty exciting news. But I thought that currently combining the images from widely separated telescopes could only produce interferometric information, not coherent optical images, for instance as with the COAST optical interferometer:

C.O.A.S.T.
Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope
COAST

Also I thought currently adaptive optics which I presume would be used with such a high resolution instrument could only be used at infrared wavelengths.
