Talk:Very Long Baseline Interferometry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first section could use a rewrite, since it is hard to read for those outside the astronomy field. "Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is a type of interferometry in which the data received at each antenna in the array is paired with timing information, usually from a local atomic clock, and then stored for later analysis on magnetic tape or hard disk.". A casual reader may wonder: which antenna, which array? Why is timing so crucial that it is mentioned in the very first sentence?

I'm not an expert in this field, so I hope someone else can do this. I suggest to first tell this has (1) something to do with radioastronomy and (2) involves multiple, geographically seperated, telescopes.
