This is done using a technique called interferometry, which merges the beams of light in a way that simulates the sharpness (though not the brightness) of the images that would be obtained from a telescope whose mirror was 200 metres across.
Then he discovered a new Japanese method of cutting diamonds: When viewed under a low-magnification (3x) lens, the stone refracted light in such a way as to give off a pattern of eight heart-shaped sparkles at the bottom of the diamond and eight arrow-shaped fire-bursts through the top--hence the name "hearts-and-arrows" diamonds.

Using gravitational microlensing, scientists are able to determine when the gravity of a large object alters the light coming from a star on its way to Earth.
By carefully tailoring the semiconductor layers, the researchers can make lasers that shine in two bands of infra-red light to which the atmosphere is highly transparent allowing the light to travel a long way.
Only the 318 in question, however, are close enough to the Milky Way for the predicted galactic speed limit not to have been imposed (300m light years may sound a long way, but it is a short hop on the cosmic scale).

As you know, I just met with leaders of both parties to discuss a way forward in light of the severe budget cuts that start to take effect today.
And those values are especially important to remember now, as we continue to try and find a way forward in light of the budget cuts that are already starting to cost us jobs and hurt our economy.

Some scientists have long thought there might be a way to surpass the light barrier, and if so, certain limited kinds of time travel might be possible.
The computer maker managed to simultaneously transmit 55 wavelengths and came up with a way of amplifying the light signals every 50 kilometers, since light pulses degrade over long stretches and must be strengthened.
