Adaptive Optics Discoveries

How adaptive optics works. Dr. Acton from Ball Aerospace tells us about discoveries made at the Keck Observatory immediately after the adaptive optics system was installed. The system uses a fast tilt and pan mirror and deformable mirror which adjust to wavelengths of distortion calculated by a wave-front control system and computer. Dr. Acton found a volcano on Io and binary brown dwarfs after building the system. Part of the Universe of Instrumentation program.
