Proposal: High-Resolution Gamma-Ray Interferometry for Astronomical Imaging(Employing a Method Comparable to an Electron Microscope)

 By sending a beam of high-energy electromagnetic waves (such as gamma rays) to a nearby celestial body, receiving the reflection of the electromagnetic waves, and then resolving the reflected light with an electron microscope, it may be possible to make microscopic observations of some celestial bodies near the Earth.


 Concept Summary


Instead of using optical or radio waves, the system would send gamma ray beams toward celestial bodies and analyze the returned scattered signals. Using high-resolution gamma-ray scattering techniques (such as Compton scattering or gamma-ray resonance fluorescence), the reflected signals could be analyzed with electron-microscope-level resolution.

If implemented with an interferometric array, the effective telescope aperture could reach an unprecedented scale, allowing detailed imaging of exoplanet surfaces, stellar magnetic activity, and interstellar structures.


 Potential applications


Direct high-resolution imaging of exoplanet surfaces.


Revealing hidden structures in dense stellar objects.


Gamma-ray based radar for planetary exploration (e.g. subsurface mapping of Mars, Europa or asteroids).


I believe this approach could revolutionise space imaging and planetary exploration
