Interferometry with a baseline distance of Jupiter's orbit could give us the needed resolution.

Now that is one space project that will be worth it's weight in gold.

Sign me up as a very willing taxpayer for that project!

The tau project would be way kewl!

Orbit of Jupiter feh! The tau project envisions sending two probes Thousands of Astromical Units out of the plane of the galaxy, giving us the ability to both see the center of the galaxy in visible light and to take stereo images of the whole galaxy.

Imagine two Hubble class optical telescopes teamed with two Aricibo class radio telescopes with a few thousand AU base line!
