COSMIC MESSAGE
Astronomers use powerful lasers to create artificial stars in the atmosphere. This technique is employed when a bright natural star is not available in the desired direction for atmospheric monitoring. By observing the fluctuations of these laser-generated stars, astronomers can gauge how Earth's atmosphere changes.
