This artist's concept depicts the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer, an array of telescopes under development in New Mexico. When completed, as depicted here, it will consist of 10 small telescopes. Their light will be combined to provide images of astronomical objects that are as sharp as those of a giant single-mirror telescope. The first instrument is scheduled to arrive at the Magdalena Ridge Observatory this spring. [MRO/New Mexico Tech]
