Abstract: The average star looks the same to a casual observer as it does through the largest telescopes. Optical interferometers — where an array of smaller telescopes simulates a larger one — are able to resolve much finer detail, such as the pulsations of a variable star, that might help us work out the age and size of the Universe.
