  1. Not a new idea but an interesting one. Been discussed on stack exchange / physics for a while, here is a thread.

  2. there are a few options for this already. see https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/top-astronomy-kit/best-gadgets-turn-smartphone-into-astrophotography-camera/

  3. Gravitational lensing could be the way forward, now that we know most of the universe isn’t visible to us, yet.

    “In this video we explore a design for what would be the largest telescope humanity will ever use. It would allow us to take images of an exoplanet from over 100 light years away at better resolution than hubble is able to see mars from earth. The proposed FOCAL spacecraft uses a weird property of space called gravitational lensing to bend light around the sun as if it was a giant lens.”
