Perhaps the greatest testament to Keck Observatory's amazing engineering and operational achievements is it has become the model from which future telescopes are being built.

Not exact matches

will have to be assumed and telescoped; but I will concentrate on what I think are critical questions — critical in the sense that they represent, at least in my opinion, points on which greater clarity is required if the community of Christ's discipleship is to move into the post-Christendom future with something like apostolic confidence.

Finding Life Beyond Earth PBS As manned space programs face an uncertain future, powerful telescopes are uncovering a wealth of new planets across the galaxy — some of which could harbor life.

Another plan Rubio is working on is developing the Atacama Astronomical Park, a 36,347 - hectare protected area around the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array, which CONICYT plans to use to attract future telescopes from Brazil and the United States, and maybe also from China, South Korea and Thailand.

In the future, the HESS collaboration hopes to extend the array with an additional eight or 12 telescopes, which will allow them to observe even less energetic events.

Such systems will lay the groundwork for more advanced adaptive optics systems planned for future telescopes, which may boast mirrors as wide as 60 metres.

The spacecraft's instruments include a cosmic - ray telescope for measuring radiation, an altimeter to create high - resolution 3 - D surface renderings, radar to search for water ice, and a neutron detector to seek hydrogen (which some engineers have suggested mining as rocket fuel for a future moon base).

That in turn will set the stage for the work of future telescopes, like the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope under construction in Maui, Hawaii, which will come online in 2019.

And in the future, a technique called optical interferometry, which links together the observations of more than one telescope, might make it possible to see the multiple lensed images produced by the planets of another star system.

But the test, called «first fringes», bodes well for ALMA's future, Mangum told New Scientist: «It verifies that ALMA can make measurements not just as single telescopes, but as a collection of antennas, which is the primary mode of operation.»

The report, «Advancing Astronomy in the Coming Decade: Opportunities and Challenges,» has been controversial: both the NSF's National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the NANOGrav Collaboration (which uses GBT as one of its telescopes to observe pulsars to detect gravitational waves) issued responses, and a public comment forum filled with debate over the telescope's future.

«Large astronomical projects such as the space telescopes Euclid or eRosita, which are to be launched in the next few years, will observe large areas of the Universe, as well as provide further insight into the evolution of the first structures of the Universe so that the significance of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations will even increase in future,» says Klaus Dolag.

So, what questions we will be able to answer in the future depends on what telescopes we build now, which in turn depends on the questions we think are going to be important.

The research team plans future work on interstellar biomolecules using the new NRAO Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, which promises to be the most sensitive telescope yet for such work.

Future telescopes such as NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will allow us to count almost all of the stars in the bulge down to the faintest ones, which today's telescopes, even Hubble, can not see.»
