arcminutes

Whereas ground-based optical telescopes have sub-arcsecond** resolution, and Hubble is quoted as having a resolution of 0.085 arcseconds, single-dish radio telescopes can only get resolutions of a few arcminutes.

In its apparent annual journey around our sky, the Sun passes closer to Regulus than any other comparable star, with the conjunction occurring this year on 23 August when the Sun's northern edge misses the star by a mere 12 arcminutes.

The scale of the Hubble/VLA/Chandra image is probably on the scale of arcminutes (1 arcminute = 60,000 milliarcseconds).

New VISTA of Orion | Universe Today 2010

This image is about half the area of the full VISTA field of view, and is measures about 40 x 50 arcminutes – that's about half a square degree on the sky , or twice the area of the full Moon.

For reference, the full moon is ~0. 5 degrees = 30 arcminutes = 1800 arcsec across, and 1 arcsec ~ 5e-6 radians.

Dr. Soneira's claims are based upon a retinal calculation of .5 arcminutes which to my reading of the literature is too low.
