The group of scientists from British Cambridge University and Californian institute of technology (Caltech) has developed the technology which has allowed ground-based telescopes to overtake orbital Hubble on quality of the image.
They have managed to obtain the most precise pictures of space objects in a history of a science, informs Cambridge University in its press release.
New technology named Lucky has allowed to receive the images twice surpassing Hubble’s on clearness and resolution.
The technology Lucky is constructed on use of adaptive (self-adapting) optics. The high-speed camera makes twenty pictures of the same site of the sky in a second. Some of them are strongly deformed by an atmosphere, others are less deformed. The special program chooses the best images and then automatically combines them in one.
