Next week NASA will receive the concept of a fundamentally new a telescope that can do a thousand times better and accurate shots. Such a unique telescope is designed by American scientists of the University of Colorado (Boulder).
The telescope already has a name – “Aragoscope”. So it is named after Frasua Arago – the greatest French physicist and astronomer who lived in the 19th century.
The fundamental difference in the operation of the new telescope from existing is, says Professor Webster Cash, that in front of him A light-tight eight-hundred-meter drive is installed. Going from any space object the scattered light will be refracted on the edges of this disk, to then converge at a central point. It is this light, concentrated at a point, that will capture new telescope, which provides the highest resolution obtained images.
If such a telescope is sent not to space, but, say, to our planet, then using it you can search for the smallest objects on distance of many thousands of kilometers. This may come in handy in your search. missing or in trouble people …
Recall that last July, NASA as part of its program “Innovative Advanced Concepts” identified twelve innovative projects. In April of this year, NASA has to choose of which six are the most promising. It seems that among them The project of scientists from the University of Colorado will also be included.
