So the Herschel Space Telescope which I have worked on  was a real breakthrough   And the pictures that Herschel has gotten for us are amazing.  But on the same token, the quality of image, the resolution.  is about the same on the far infrared right now as Galileo&#8217;s telescope was in the visible 400 years ago.    The instrument that I\u2019m building, an interferometer, you have multiple telescopes that are working in parallel, and you combine the signal and it generates an interference pattern which  you then do some analysis on to get a picture out of.  That gets you a much bigger telescope than you have.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Spencer says it will take ten to twenty years before the interferometer is actually launched into space.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><em><br \/>\nHear the full interview with Locke Spencer at Innovation Anthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uleth.ca\">University of Lethbridge<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>In 2007 The University of Lethbridge celebrated its 40th anniversary.
