Future of Optical-infrared Interferometry in Europe
Here is an interesting question. Can a photon pick up an effective snap shot of its source star system? It traverses it star environment in a finite number of seconds. It must interact with all the background photons. If it were a space ship, all would do this because of the difference in apparent scale. Yet the real background is vastly smaller in scale compared to an electron based photon. So we have a difference.
