Considering a frozen-flow turbulence model, we analyze the residual atmosphere speckle lifetimes in a MagAO-X-like AO system as well as 25–39 m giant segmented mirror telescope scale systems. We find ...

The Subaru Telescope in Hawai‘i is adding a new instrument to its arsenal, one that will observe the cosmos through a compound eye. The compound eye will allow Subaru to observe about 2,400 ...

The primary objective of this spacewalk is to replace critical hardware and repair the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) X-ray telescope. Listen to Story Williams and Hague will ...
