NASA Researchers Start Investigating Novel Optic

It is a well-established fact that larger light-collecting mirrors will be required by scientists to resolve smaller physical details of faraway celestial objects. However this challenge is not simple to overcome due to the high cost and difficulty of building and launching large-aperture telescopes – in this particular scenario, space observatories.

NASA to Develop Highly Sophisticated Laboratory Tool to Assure Ultra-Stable Space Telescopes

Finding and characterizing dozens of Earth-like planets will require a super-stable space telescope whose optical components move or distort no more than a few picometers — a measurement smaller than the size of an atom. It also will require next-generation tools with which to assure that level of stability.

New Technique Could Enable Telescopes to Obtain Images with Very High Angular Resolution

The angular resolution of a telescope is the smallest angle between two objects that still can be resolved as separate things; in a telescope with high angular resolution, those objects can be very close together and yet still appear distinct.
