Rays of light from a distant star or galaxy are blurred as they pass through the turbulent air of the earth's atmosphere, preventing a telescope on the surface of the earth from forming sharp images. Instruments using a new method called adaptive optics, can eliminate the blurring effect of the atmo ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
