Optical aberration theory remains a fundamental component in the design and operation of space telescopes. With increasingly ambitious astronomical missions and the demand for high-resolution imaging, ...

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

“They can move in steps that are a fraction of a wavelength of light, or about 1/10,000th the diameter of a human hair,” explained Lee Feinberg, optical telescope element manager of the NASA James ...

After full review, the observatory has been confirmed to be capable of capturing crisp, well-focused images with each of its four powerful onboard science instruments. Upon completing the seventh and ...
