Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery: a binary star orbiting perilously close to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*. This stellar pair defies ...

These distortions can occur when light from an astronomical object passes through the Earth’s atmosphere, for example. Adaptive optics (AO) corrects eye aberrations for sharp imaging ...

She arrived on the front end of what was going to become a blazing meteor of innovation in astronomy. As she entered the field ... The next leap came with another new technology, adaptive optics (AO), ...

Northwestern University is officially a founding partner of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), an enormous ground-based ...

(Operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan ... called—brace yourself—the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO, pronounced “skex-a-o”).

Abstract: Imaging an astronomical object from a ground location suffers from atmospheric turbulence degrading the quality of the image. Adaptive optics systems use bright guide-stars to estimate the ...

Finalising the syllabus for the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2025 examination, the ...

This change signifies a broadening of astronomical research ... They used the SPHERE instrument on ESO’s VLT, featuring extreme adaptive optics. This technology corrected Earth’s atmosphere, allowing ...

The innovation is based on the same mirror technology used in advanced telescopes for astronomy ... The mirror optics can handle multi-kilowatt laser power, and with the help of computer vision ...

To keep track of these astronomical events, many enthusiasts rely on a cosmic calendar that details upcoming full moons, supermoons, comets, meteor showers and solar and lunar eclipses.
