A common technique used by astronomers for overcoming diffraction limits is to electronically combine the light from more than one telescope. This effectively increases the diameter of the aperture to the distance between the telescopes. If the signals from two 5-meter-diameter telescopes located 100 meters apart were being combined when one of the telescopes stopped functioning, by what factor would the minimum resolvable angle be increased?
