VLTI, so the Very Large Telescope Interferometer.
P
27:58Paul HillHOST
Mm-hmm.
J

Now, this new star is called S301.
J
28:47Jenifer MillardHOST
They reckon it's gonna be 10 years of observations-
P
28:50Paul HillHOST
Mm-hmm
J
28:51Jenifer MillardHOST
... using the VLTI and the Extremely Large Telescope-
P
28:54Paul HillHOST

And this is what's so exciting because this star is giving us the opportunity to actually directly measure the spin of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.
J
28:23JennyHOST
Wow.
J

So when you're going to be able to do it for a number of years, they reckon it's going to be 10 years of observations using the VLTI and the extremely large telescope that is being built.
J

But it should be doable.
