Rubin Observatory Adopts New AI Algorithm to Enhance Cosmic Imaging
Scientists have developed ImageMM, an algorithm tested on Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope and soon to be used at the Rubin Observatory. The system reduces atmospheric blur, producing sharper images for studying galaxies and dark matter. Researchers believe the technique could make ground-based astronomy nearly as precise as space telescopes

Astronomers Locate “Super Earth” Exoplanet in the Habitable Zone of Its Host Star
In a recent discovery, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet or a super-Earth that is four times the size of our planet. The planet, Ross 508 b, orbits the star at a distance that offers temperatures conducive to the formation of water on the surface of the planet.

Giant Hawaii Telescope Builders Say No Construction This Year Due to Coronavirus Pandemic
Construction of the giant Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) in Hawaii may not begin until next year, owing to the coronavirus pandemic. TMT International Observatory Vice President Gordon Squires said that bringing personnel and equipment from the US mainland could now take much longer than usual.
