Astronomers Point to Hidden Planet Y Beyond Neptune
Unseen Influences in the Outer Solar System For decades, scientists have wondered whether the outer solar system harbors a hidden planet. The latest clue comes from a careful survey of distant icy bodies beyond Neptune. Researchers analyzed roughly 50 Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) and found orbital tilts that don’t align with current models of planetary…

ImageMM: Sharpening Ground-Based Images for Rubin Observatory
Introduction A new algorithm named ImageMM promises to close the gap between ground-based telescope images and space-based photos by removing the blurring effects of Earth’s atmosphere. After successful tests on the eight-meter Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, researchers are preparing to apply the technology to تصاویر from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile when it…

ImageMM Could Bring Rubin Observatory Images Closer to Space-Telescope Clarity
A breakthrough for ground-based astrophotography A new algorithm named ImageMM is showing promise in transforming ground-based telescope images by removing atmospheric blur, bringing them closer to the quality long associated with space telescopes. Developed by Johns Hopkins mathematician Yashil Sukurdeep, the method has completed successful tests on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea with the eight-meter Subaru Telescope…

ImageMM: Ground-Based Images Sharpened to Space-Level Clarity
A breakthrough in ground-based imaging A new algorithm called ImageMM has the potential to narrow the gap between ground-based and space-based telescopes by removing the blurring effects of Earth’s atmosphere. Developed by Johns Hopkins mathematician Yashil Sukurdeep, the method has successfully completed tests on a large eight-meter telescope located on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea. The next…
