Adaptive Optics

Scientific paper

Atmospheric turbulence hampers erathbound telescopes by distorting the light from near and deep space. Even building observatories on mountains does not solve the problem, and putting instruments in orbit is expensive. So mirrors are being fabricated that change shape to compensate for the effects of troubled air. Much of the technology grew out of efforts to design laser-based antimissile weapons.
