New Powerful Lasers for World's Largest Optical Telescope | ESO
Ground-based telescopes have a trick up their sleeve to deal with atmospheric turbulence—lasers. By creating artificial stars in the sky and monitoring how blurred they are, we can obtain very sharp images of the cosmos. Together with our industrial partners, we are now testing next-generation lasers for our Very Large Telescope (VLT) and our Extremely Large Telescope (ELT).
