PICTURE OF THE WEEK: SUPERSHARP NEPTUNE SNAPPED FROM EARTH
by Hazed
A very clear and sharp image of Neptune has been released, but the exciting thing about it is that it’s not been taken from space, but from a telescope on Earth. The Very Large Telescope has some new technology called laser tomography which corrects for turbulence in the atmosphere, which allows images to be captured from the ground which are sharper than those from the Hubble Space Telescope.
