Share An innovative, ground-breaking telescope named Dragonfly is about to undergo a major transformation thanks to nearly $2-million in support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI). The Dragonfly Telephoto Array is a unique telescope designed to observe astronomical phenomenon such as extremely faint galaxies and the dark filaments of gas associated with many of them. Dragonfly is the brainchild of Roberto Abraham, a professor of astronomy and chair of the David A. Dunlap department of astronomy and astrophysics in the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Arts & Science, andÂ...
