Astronomy has always relied on optical instruments, from the early Galilean telescope to fiber-fed spectrographs, so much so that astronomy and modern optics are called astrophotonics. Since ...

Shini talks to us about optical instruments and how they make magnification possible. How do lenses work? How do they form images? Well, in order to understand how optics work, we have to understand ...

Telescopes have mirrors that help them gather light, but the challenge of modern telescopes is getting the mirrors to bend and move to collect the most light. Discover how Smithsonian researchers are ...

China is transforming the remote Saishiteng Mountain in Qinghai province into a global hub for astronomy, with plans for a ...
