New Technology Brings Space Telescope Image Quality Down to Earth, Offering Astronomical Image Clarity Never Seen Before The next generation of adaptive optics has arrived at the Large Binocular ...
A research team from the University of Tokyo/Kavli IPMU, Ehime University, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has succeeded in conducting the first, full-scale scientific ...
It’s sometimes easy to forget that the light in the sky is an actual star. With how reliable it is and how busy we tend to be as humans, we can take that incredible fact and stow it away and largely ...
The University of Arizona’s Magellan Adaptive Optics Xtreme instrument, combined with a six-and-a-half meter ground-based telescope, has imaged protoplanets in sharp detail. By capturing images of the ...
The UArizona-managed Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham is the only one of its kind, with two 27-foot mirrors mounted side by side. A powerful adaptive optics system compensates for blurring ...
Astronomers at the Large Binocular Telescope have produced the sharpest image of a star ever seen. They used new equipment called adaptive optics to eliminate the twinkle of stars. Twinkling stars ...

A powerful new optics system has captured the clearest view yet of the Sun’s corona, revealing stunning plasma structures. Reading time 2 minutes The Sun’s outer atmosphere—the corona—is the piping ...
At the dawn of the 17th Century, Galileo Galilei began the first major search of the night sky (as well as the Sun!) using a new Dutch invention — the telescope. In the era when William Shakespeare ...
