FUNDING THE PINNACLES OF HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT
Keck Observatory is a world leader in adaptive optics, a breakthrough technology that corrects for distortions caused by Earth’s atmosphere to capture clear images and stunningly sharp detail of distant stars, planets, and other cosmic targets. To keep the twin telescopes answering the most challenging questions in astronomy today, the Observatory has undertaken a strategic initiative to develop the next breakthrough in adaptive optics: a next generation laser guide star adaptive optics system for the Keck II Telescope. Please join us in this noble journey of exploration.
