We have powerful telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that offer spectacular cosmic views and insights into the early universe, thanks to decades of engineering and billions of dollars. However, an even more powerful telescope could be created using the sun itself. For perspective, JWST’s 21.3-foot mirror achieves a resolution of one-tenth of an arcsecond, allowing it to see details on a coin 25 miles away. The Event Horizon Telescope, a global network, achieves a resolution of 20 microarcseconds, capturing images of gas disks around black holes.
