For a limited time only, you can make suggestions here
on pointing the Big Brain's New Ultra Large 945-inch Telescope (NULT).
We'll collect together the best suggestions and the Big Brain will see
what's out there in space. Results will be posted here.
Currently we have the discovery images of the most remote two galaxies
in the Universe and a black hole at the center of the galaxy. Only two
images are taken so far and we don't know what we'll find on planets,
comets, asteroids, the Moon and moons, or other selected objects in the
solar system and Universe. For example, if the moon Europa has a water
ice ocean, can we use polarization techniques to see below the surface?
Maybe discover larger life forms if they exist?
The Big Brain has put the huge NULT telescope into use for a limited
time using resources provided by the Big Brain and NASA.

Edit: I'd also like to see what the huge hunk of Smile is on Mars. I'm trying to find the link...... it's been said it's a doctored photo, not real, some say it's a real Martian base from a billion years ago. I think it's interesting, that's it.

Spiral_72 I'm looking at the first results showing what's inside the tiny arm section of M31 galaxy, returned from the NULT Telescope, and the full color image is stunning, going beyond my greatest expectations and outstripping my wildest imagination! You will not be disappointed.
Bean I was skeptical at first, that the 24-meter telescope could show much of anything on the Moon as small as the Lunar Rover. I poured over the resolution 1.22 Lambda over D several times and calculated the tangent of the radians and found the computational math results were subjective based on the actual wavelength which varied over the optical spectrum. However, it looks like you'll get your wish.
Dave Hein as you know, NASA's initial involvement with the detection of Kepler-22b was made by studying the light intensity of eclipsing parenting star. So I was a bit skeptical that NULT could see anything at all, other than a very tiny dim star-like dot. Preliminaries look very promising for an optical observation result so I think we'll see something. It will be up to you apply your yardstick criterion to determine if there's life on the planet. I don't know how you'll do that.
Phil and erco you're going to be very disappointed being left out of the program. As far as your request, I don't know what your talking about.
LAST CHANCE! Get your requests in now! What would you like to see through this giant telescope? I have enough time and energy for the requests of two more people.
As for myself, Losing pluto as a planet was a shame...but, I am not sure how pointing a telescope at it will help though...
Light Years don't have much meaning to me, I understand it's a measurement, but so is the centimeter and millimeter...
I have mastered the feet, inch, and mile, but Light Year? just how far can light travel in a non leap year?
Can you put light year into perspective? or is that like asking to describe the universe and give two examples?

The New Ultra Large Telescope NULT is a Parallax Propeller Big Brain project to explore the Universe. In particular, there's great interest in penetrating space time and reaching the EOU End of Universe status to attempt the detection of alternate Bubble Universes, map the edge barrier, and gain data about what mysteries hide on the other side.
The NULT Telescope Suggestion Pointing Program was initiated to test the telescope on selected objects, and work the kinks out of the system. Plus everyone is interested in how this massive new invention will perform. This has led to the Brain's founding of the new Deep Space Center, a place designed to handle the 24-meter telescope operations and harbor the influx of NASA data.
In its short time of telescope operations, it has accumulated enhanced observational data for the following:
- Black Hole at the center of the galaxy
- Two of the farthest remote galaxies known to mankind
- Imaged the NEOU Near End of Universe, only .7 LY from the edge
- Observed Kepler 22b, an earth-like planet believed to support life
- Located the Lunar Rover on the Moon from the 1970s Apollo program
- Penetrated deep into the Andromeda Galaxy
It's amazing what you can do with a few Propeller chips..The loss of Pluto as a planet was shocking. However, every week there's some great new discovery so change in the field of Astronomy has become rapid and commonplace. Pluto is good for many things. In the future, it can be mined for its valuable metals in performing advanced metalurgy. For now, it serves the study of Astrophysics and could be a test point for NULT remote imaging. In the future, it's remote location may become a stepping stone base for star travel, i.e. jumping out from the solar system deeper into the galaxy and beyond.

Even adaptive optics won't work because they only undo the effects of bad seeing and let you reach the diffraction limit.

Big Brain started out with only a few Propeller chips. Evolution of a predominantly Propeller chip based Big Brain has led to Big Brain’s DSC Deep Space Center which is fronting management of the NULT including acquisition of data.
-Phil
Adaptive Optics in this sense won't apply to the NULT or telescopes in space.
During my tenure as Observatory Director I recall small stars other than just Red Giants being resolved.
This was accomplished before the Keck.
If you are interested in this technique, contact me by email here
and I will provide more information when time permits.
Well look at that. Man I could keep you busy for weeks. It's amazing that there are a thousand solar systems in that fuzzy blob M31.
Without the Propeller, there would be no Big Brain.
Without a Big Brain, there would be no NULT.
This all began with a few Propeller chips.
This was my only statement.
No other information is available.

We have seen images and video of Asimo in action, not footprints of where it has walked or pictures that it has drawn.
Scientific data is not scientific if it cannot be subjected to peer review.
I am sorry Humanoido, but I can't take this offline. You are making claims in a public forum that I believe are flat out wrong. Others reading this who know less about astronomy will learn something incorrect.
Yes there are techniques for measuring stellar diameters via occultation, but that does not produce an image. You can also measure stellar brightness over time and measure rotation rate, but again that won't produce an image. You can use the estimated stellar diameter and rotation rate to produce a map of stellar surface features, but again this is not an image.
As I said before, a telescope in space can reach the diffraction limit because there's no atmosphere. However resolving objects turns out to require telescopes of an extremely large size. This Web page from Cornell University gives a good overview:
http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=134
The bottom line is that the lunar rover has a diameter of 3.1 meters which from Earth orbit would require a telescope 75 meters in diameter (or equivalent synthetic aperture) to resolve. No such technology exists.
The limited time has expired for making suggestions to point the NULT.
Thanks to everyone who made excellent suggestions and helped with
ideas for testing and refining the NULT Telescope.
