Adaptive optics is a technique used to correct for the blurring effect of the Earth's atmosphere. W. M. Keck Observatory's laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS AO) system uses a laser to create ...

TNO delivered 5 laser launch telescopes with a thermally insensitive design ... TNO's Laser Launch Telescope design is also being considered for GMT, Subaru and Keck telescope systems. The TNO-Demcon ...

and it has allowed large ground-based telescopes such as Keck and the VLT to come closer to the capabilities of the spaceborne Hubble Telescope over the past 25 years. And this is certainly a fine ...

The Kepler Space telescope was built to hunt the universe for planets, with the hopes of finding other Earth-like worlds where alien life might exist. The telescope searches for the faint dimming ...

Earlier this year a simple indicator LED brought the Keck 1 telescope, a 370 tons mass, to a halting stop. How exactly did an LED do this? Simple: it did nothing. As it so happens, [Andrew Cooper ...
