Recent progress at the CHARA interferometric array

Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) operates a multi-telescope, long-baseline, optical/infrared interferometric array on Mt. Wilson, California. We present a brief update on the status of this facility along with summaries of the first scientific results from the Array.
