| When you talk about "new developments", how "new" are you refering to? Last 5 years? The most significant development of the past few years has been the implementation of adaptive optics. Adaptive optics allow to improve the telescope's resoultion by actively correcting for the effects of the turbulence in the atmosphere. Just search "adaptive optics" on the web if you want to learn more. |
