The resolution of the new Tycho image isabout 5×5 m and contains approximately 1.4 billion pixels. “This is the largest synthetic aperture radar image we have acquired to date with the help of our partners at Raytheon,” said Tony Beasley, Ph.D., director of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. “Although there is still a lot of work ahead to improve the photographs, we are excited to share the interim results with people.”
