What’s on and in a star? What happens in an active galactic nucleus? Answering those questions is the goal of a proposed giant interferometer on the moon. It’s called the Artemis-enabled Stellar Imager (AeSI) and would deploy a series of 15–30 optical/ultraviolet-sensitive telescopes in a 1-km elliptical array across the lunar surface.
