New frontiers with LSST: leveraging world facilities
... instruments tend to be unique. Astronomy thus must evolve to a coordinated collaboration of world facilities. GTC is perfect for co-observing with LSST to leverage discovery. The shared sky overlap and the joint science discovery space is more than sufficient. ...

2.1 Reflection
... We will focus on the propagation of light. In order to describe the direction in which light propagates, it is often convenient to represent a light wave by rays rather than by wave fronts. In fact, rays were used to describe the propagation of light long before its wave nature was established. Geom ...
