Don't forget the best part -- the telescopes will be connected using single mode fibers!

Is there even any atmosphere above a telescope if seeing gets above 20 cm? Feel like I should call in to @CHARAArray to ensure the telescope operator can still breathe!

If you're interested in high angular resolution astronomy and other results from @CHARAArray, we're holding a conf in Exeter next Spring. You can pre-register here to stay up-to-date: sites.exeter.ac.uk/sharpeste…

At the @CHARAArray -NPOI meeting at @LowellObs , the new @ARC_Science OmniGlobe allows @rmroettenbacher to show us her images of the surface of star zeta Andromedae in a room-sized presentation!
[NB: actual star is approximately 10 billion times bigger]

Congratulations to the Joseph Weber Award, @AstroMonnier! I can't think of a more worthy recipient. Throughout your career, you really opened up new windows for astronomy!

Did you know that at Georgia State's premier observatory in Mount Wilson, California, scientists can examine the minutiae of stars, right down to their sunspots? xitter.cf/CHARAArray/status/1082…
We have 50 nights a year open to the community. Apply through @NOAONorth. No science is off limits! #aas233

.@TenTheoten provides the anecdote that the domes were installed for the @CHARAArray by a helicopter for a price of $25k/hour. He installed all domes in <2hours with better than 1/8in precision. #AAS233

Imaging stellar surfaces with @CHARAArray at milliarcsecond scales means we can investigate the atmospheric physics at a whole new level - Ryan Norris #AAS223 – at Seattle, WA

Stellar Astrophysics at milliarcsecond resolution #aas233
If you love high angular resolution in your astronomy (or just want to learn more about imagining stellar surfaces, the empirical HR diagram, and much more), come to our splinter session: High Angular Resolution View of Stars at #aas233 (room 304, 10-11:30)

@tsboyajian at @CHARAArray session. “Before three years ago, everyone knew I study normal stars.”

It's the first night of the season for the @CHARAArray and we have fringes!!!
