The 1.55mm-thick lenses incorporate a thin reflective telescope made of mirrors and filters; when light enters the eye it bounces off the series of mirrors and increases the perceived view of an […] ...

A Thousand Earths: A Very Large Aperture, Ultralight Space Telescope Array for Atmospheric Biosignature Surveys. The Astronomical Journal, 2019; 158 (2): 83 DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ab2631 ...

That trend is perfectly illustrated by the DWARF 3 smart telescope from DwarfLab. Not long after I reviewed their DWARF II model in Astronomy 's August 2024 issue, the company announced its next ...

Ball Aerospace has shipped and delivered the large camera lens assembly to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, which will be incorporated into the Large Synoptic ...

It’s on Mount Woorat, 3,822 feet above sea level. The Huntsman Telescope is made from an array of ten commercially available Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS II USM super-telephoto lenses —although, at ...

One astronomer has suggested a possible work-around: Turn the entire Earth into a telescope lens by using the planet’s atmosphere to bend and focus light. When light from stars hits Earth’s ...

NASA has awarded $2 million to a team including Xplore, a Seattle-based space venture, to design a far-out telescope that would use the sun's gravitational field as its lens.

This technology is distinct from that used in electrowetting lenses, in which the lens surface is defined by the meniscus between two immiscible fluids. "Fluidic lenses tend to have greater ranges of ...
