A Scientific American article by Phil Plait gives a detailed overview on how arrays of telescopes like the CHARA Array are used to resolve the surfaces of stars:

A technique called interferometry can greatly magnify tiny objects on the sky, and is powerful enough to reveal the surfaces of nearby stars

Astronomers captured images of two stellar explosions — known as novae — within days of their eruption and in unprecedented detail. The breakthrough provides direct evidence that these explosions are more complex than previously thought, with multiple outflows of material and, in some cases, dramatic delays in the ejection process.

Using Georgia State’s CHARA Array, scientists from around the world reveal the surprising complexity of stellar explosions.
