In a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2021.210040, Researchers led by Professor Daewook Kim from The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA consider advances in optical ...

The telescope primarily detects light in the infrared in order to observe sources such as the first galaxies and protostars.

With 2009 being the International Year of Astronomy, it is an apt time to reflect on just how far telescope technologies have come, and speculate about the future. Just over 400 years ago, Hans ...

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 ...

For decades, astronomers have searched for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence using radio telescopes and optical instruments, scanning the skies for artificial signals. Now, researchers are taking ...

Astronomers are looking forward to opening a new window on the universe by posting high-resolution telescopes on the moon, and in orbit around it. There are numerous proposals to do this from ...

Optical sparse aperture telescopes utilise an array of smaller, discrete subapertures to synthesise a large effective aperture, thereby achieving high-resolution imaging with reduced system mass and ...

How telescopes closed in on colliding neutron stars. Yellow contours show area of gamma ray burst detected by NASA’s Fermi telescope. White contours show the area of gravitational wave signal ...

The world’s largest optical telescope got the go ahead last Friday when the Hawaiian Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) granted a building and operating permit for the Thirty Meter Telescope ...

If asked to think of a telescope, most people will picture a long tube with a lens at either end. But a new experimental optical instrument developed by Lockheed Martin could usher in ultra-thin ...
