Four Lasers over Mauna Kea

NASA APOD · Jason Chu (IfA Manoa)
COSMIC MESSAGE

Lasers shot from telescopes are used to increase the accuracy of astronomical observations. When a bright star isn't available to measure atmospheric fluctuations, astronomers create an artificial star. This artificial guide star helps correct for distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere, improving image clarity.
