Laser guide
Unit Telescope 4 (Yepun) of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) sends four laser beams up to the sky above the Paranal observatory. The lasers create an artificial guide star as part of the VLT’s Adaptive Optics system, state-of-the-art technology that corrects the blurring effects of the Earth’s atmosphere to create sharper images of astronomical objects.
