VLT Observatory By: Leah Blacks Section 1 General Info - First saw light on May 25th,1998 - went into scientific operations on April 1st, 1999 - it is the world’s most advanced optical instrument, consist of four unit telescopes with main mirrors of 8.2m diameter and four movable 1.8m Auxiliary Telescopes -All four telescopes work together to form a giant interferno meter , allowing astronomers to see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes. - It covers a broad spectral region from deep ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelengths. Discovery 1 Stars orbiting the milky way black hole. The VLT revealed the effects predicted by Einstein’s general relativity on the motion of a star passing through the extreme gravitational field near the black home in the centre of the milky way. The VLT was used to obtain the view of the Nebula LHA 120-N44 surrounding the star cluster NGC 1929. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Name of Telescopes Antu (the sum) Kueyen (moon) Melipal (Southern cross) Yepun (evening star) Discovery 2 Scientist used the VLT to spot the chemical composition of a planet some 130 light years from Earth. This planet is about 10 times the size of Jupiter, with a surface temperature of 1472 degrees Fahrenheit (800 degrees Celsius). This was the first time the spectrum was observed from direct observations of a planet. Previous methods entailed watching a planet disappear behind a star, then observing the differences in spectra to obtain the planet's chemical composition. The Omega Nebula It shows the dusty, rosy central parts of the famous star forming region in fine detail. Discovery 3 The VLT has obtained the first ever images of a planet outside of the solar system. (exoplanet). Yepun, the fourth 8.2 metre unit telescope launching a powerful yellow laser beam into the sky. They do this to correct the blurring in telescope images caused by turbulence in Earth’s atmosphere. Hubble Space Telescope By: I’Nel West General Information about the Hubble Space Telescope The name of my observatory is the Hubble Space Telescope. This is the first major optical telescope to be placed in space. It is named after astronomer, Dr. Edwin P. Hubble. It was first launched on April 24th,1990. It is the length of 13.3 meters (43.5 meters long) which is the length of a large school bus. It weighed 24,000 pounds at launch, but now it would weigh 27,000 pounds if returned to Earth. It is used for observing the most distant stars and galaxies as well as the planets in our solar system. This telescope can see astronomical objects with an angular size of 0.05 seconds. The Hubble Space telescope shows visible light between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation. Discovery 1 One discovery made from the Hubble Space Telescope Is the famous image of the “Hubble Ultra Deep Field”. It shows the farthest galaxies ever seen from Earth. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Discovery 2 Hubble Space Telescope has also detected black holes and these black holes suck in everything around them (including light). The Hubble Space telescope is known for discovering dark energy and also gamma-ray bursts (powerful explosions of energy). Discovery 3 The Hubble Space Telescope also has studied the atmospheres of planets revolving around stars. Hubble observed when an asteroid plunged into Jupiter’s atmosphere. This left a temporary dark feature which was the size of the Pacific Ocean.
