The Goode Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory has captured stunning views of the sun using its new coronal adaptive ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses diffraction-limited visible imaging for large aperture telescopes. The deformable mirror used in adaptive optics can change its surface to ...
Space-based telescopes are remarkable. Their view isn't obscured by the weather in our atmosphere, and so they can capture incredibly detailed images of the heavens. Unfortunately, they are quite ...

Imaging Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars from the ground is challenging and requires substantial advances in techniques. This Perspective presents and provides the predicted performance of ...
A new generation of extremely large telescopes requires fresh approaches to correct for the blurring effects caused by the Earth’s atmosphere, as Richard de Grijs, one of an international team of ...
The next generation of adaptive optics has arrived at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in Arizona, providing astronomers with a new level of image sharpness never before seen. Developed in a ...
