We can see the Universe but not the causes of misery here on Earth. Priorities out of whack, neh?

Astronomers at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico joined a project called
Electronic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (e-VLBI), which can make
temporary radio telescopes that rival the size of the Earth, spanning North America, South America, Europe and Africa.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/global-radio-te.html"><P>The e-VLBI's size gives it 10 times the resolution of the Hubble
Space Telescope, allowing the array to image objects - like the bright
'afterglow' formed when a high-speed jet of matter from a gamma-ray
burst slams into its surroundings, that just look like points to
individual radio telescopes, according to Chris Salter of Arecibo. Now,
with the e-VLBI, the data is sent via fiber optic cables to produce
real-time
images of celestial objects. That allows astronomers to easily plan
follow-up observations for rapidly changing phenomena, such as
supernovae.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/88B2AE40-08C4-4ECC-84B0-3363D1C22BC4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
