The vast distances in the galaxy have motivated the long-held dream of astronomers to build telescopes with enough magnification to zoom in on the intimate lives of stars. With a bold new approach, the Dragonfly instrument will make a major step in performance beyond existing technology, delivering images with an unmatched combination of high fidelity and resolution. A number of crucial questions await such a breakthrough in capability. How do stars form? What happens as they die? Are planetary systems common? Demonstrated success with this instrument will place it at the forefront of astronomical imaging worldwide, providing a vital element in the case for justifying the next generation of large telescopes.

银河系的巨大距离激发了天文学家的长期梦想，以建造足够的放大倍率的望远镜，以放大恒星的亲密生活。借助大胆的新方法，蜻蜓仪器将在现有技术之外的性能中迈出重要一步，并以无与伦比的高保真和分辨率组合提供图像。许多关键问题等待着能力的突破。星星如何形成？死亡会发生什么？行星系统常见吗？在该乐器中表现出的成功将使它处于全球天文成像的最前沿，这为证明下一代大型望远镜的案例提供了至关重要的元素。
