A research team at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has begun scientific observations with Subaru Telescope’s Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGSAO) system. The LGSAO uses a ...
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) has been fitted with new adaptive optics mode called laser tomography. The telescope has achieved first light using the new optics ...
University of California, Berkeley, astronomers have taken advantage of a recently mounted laser guide star system at UC’s Lick Observatory to obtain sharp, twinkle-free images of the faint dusty ...
To help take extra sharp images of space, a telescope in South America is firing a mega-laser – one made up of five beams – into the night sky. The sodium laser "constellation" – as scientists call it ...
Move over Death Star, there's a new laser-toting installation in town, and this one will give astronomers a better view of galaxies far, far away. These spectacular views of lasers firing up into the ...
When ground-based telescopes view stars, the light they collect must weave its way through layers of air. When those layers are turbulent, the light gets blurred, so images from observatories with ...
Space junk is a growing problem. Better fight it with lasers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Telescope operators figured out ...
French firm CILAS, which specializes in lasers and photonics technologies for military and astronomy applications, has signed an agreement to make some critical optical components for the Thirty Meter ...
