  Astronomers just turned on a planet-square footage telescope to take a picture of a black hole

  04/05/17 ,via

  The closest astronomers have come to as the crow flies “seeing” a black hole happened last year, when the LIGO observatory detected the spacetime-warping gravitational waves radiating from a duo of black holes that collided some 1.3 billion years ago. That's coolness.

  How To Use An Astronomical Telescope

  Touchstone. 1988. ISBN: 0671664042,9780671664046. 400 pages.

  

  Astronomy has never been a more popular pastime than it is today. The increased availability of less expensive, more powerful, and more sophisticated telescopes has given rise to a new generation of stargazers. And for these beginning astronomers here is the comprehensive book covering everything from the difficult task of selecting an instrument to the equally daunting choices that arise when a telescope is turned to the heavens. Renowned British astronomer and author James Muirden takes the...

  How to Build an Astronomical Telescope

  best global publishing. 2007. ISBN: 9781846930430,184693043X. 116 pages.

  

  "The process is described in great detail so that the making of the mirror is an enjoyable and relaxing task. Simple test methods are described so that you do not over grind the mirror but achieve the correct shape. How to simply mount the mirror in a tube is then covered in detail. The result will be a working astronomical telescope capable of viewing the Heavens. Only everyday tools are required throughout"--P. [4 of cover].

  Adaptive Optics for Astronomical Telescopes

  Oxford University Press on Demand. 1998. ISBN: 0195090195,9780195090192. 438 pages.

  

  This book by one of the leaders in adaptive optics covers the fundamental theory and then describes in detail how this technology can be applied to large ground-based telescopes to compensate for the effects of atmospheric turbulence. It includes information on basic adaptive optics components and technology, and has chapters devoted to atmospheric turbulence, optical image structure, laser beacons, and overall system design. The chapter on system design is particularly detailed and includes...
