TL;DR Summary

The new Condor Array Telescope, using computer technology to combine light from smaller telescopes, has enabled astrophysicists to study extremely faint astronomical features that were previously undetectable. The telescope's first scientific findings, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, include the discovery of faint stellar streams around the galaxy NGC 5907, a complete shell of gas surrounding the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis, and an extremely faint shell of gas surrounding another nova. These findings open up a new world of the very-low-brightness universe for astrophysicists and confirm long-standing hypotheses about the structures surrounding frequently erupting novae.
