Jodrell Bank Observatory -- European and US radio astronomers have demonstrated a new way of observing the Universe -- through the Internet!     Using cutting-edge technology, the researchers have managed to observe a distant star by using the world's research networks to create a giant virtual telescope. The process has allowed them to image the object with unprecedented detail, in real-time; something which only a few years ago would have been impossible...
