Starfire 死光枪在天文学上的妙用

由 Atticus Wu 于 3 years 之前发表

美国空军的这个 Starfire 计划，还真是让咱们不得不竖起大拇指称赞。试想，谁会这么无聊跑到新墨西哥州的沙漠，盖一个这么大的死光枪，还把他应用在天文观测上，真是见鬼！不过他的实际功用，是拿来解决地面上天文望远镜，常因地表大气偏折光线，影响到望远镜观测的问题。

利用 Starfire 发射激光束到距地表 90 公里高的中气层，用来侦测大气造成的偏折，并回传数据到观测站，来调整望远镜的光学设定。而利用 Starfire 处理过的影像，比没有校正过的影像，准确上近 40 倍。不过，这东西当然可能拿来作为军事用途。根据军方人员表示，如果哪一天不小心射掉几颗间谍卫星，也只能很害羞的说声对不起啰！哈哈！这才是我们想要听到的答案呀！
