Description
Subaru telescope (left) and the WM Keck Observatory on the right. Keck I is using its orange adaptive optics Laser Guide Star (LGS) which aides in reducing atmospheric blurring for superior image resolution. In this shot the laser can be seen terminating in the sky (when the atmosphere gets too thin for atoms to backscatter the laser energy). These are also the first shots where the camera picked up the actual artifical star the laser guide star creates!
