The CHARA Array is an astronomical optical interferometer operated by The Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) at Georgia State University. The array will eventually have six 1-metre diameter telescopes, making it one of the most powerful imaging interferometers in the world.


Similar imaging interferometers include COAST, NPOI and more recently VLTI/AMBER and IOTA. The ten telescope MRO interferometer will come online in a few years. A complete list of interferometers can be seen here
