The Gemini South telescope in Chile has captured near-infrared images of the Carina Nebula with the same resolution that is expected of NASA\u2019s Webb Telescope, demonstrating what we can expect when the orbiting observatory launches next year.<\/h2>\n
Using a wide-field adaptive optics camera that corrects the distortion caused by Earth’s atmosphere, Rice University’s Patrick Hartigan and Andrea Isella, and Dublin City University’s Turlough Downes used the 8.1 metre telescope to capture near-infrared images of the Carina Nebula.<\/p>\n
