Why do our twin telescopes beam lasers into the sky? To sharpen astronomical images. These lasers create ‘artificial stars’ as part of an innovative technique called adaptive optics, which corrects the blurring caused by Earth’s atmospheric turbulence. Fun fact: AO’s resolution is so fine, you can distinguish between individual headlights on a car in San Francisco from Hawaiʻi!
