The Department of Astronomy and Space, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, University of Baghdad, organized a symposium titled “Adaptive Optics in Astronomy” under the supervision of Assist.Prof.Dr. Abdullah Kamel Ahmed. The event featured the participation of researchers and enthusiasts interested in the topic.
The symposium aimed to highlight adaptive optics, a significant advancement in improving image quality and vision through various optical means, which opens new horizons in astronomy, medicine, and other applications. The discussions, presented by Prof.Dr. Raed Nofy Hassan and Assist.Prof.Dr. Huda Shaker Ali, focused on the capability to adapt to visual distortions in real-time. This technology enables an unprecedented level of precision and clarity.
The speakers emphasized that ongoing developments in this field promise further innovations that will enhance our ability to see and explore the world in ways that were previously unattainable. They noted that adaptive optics is not just a tool for correction but a means for scientific and technical advancement, paving the way for new insights and remarkable discoveries in the future.
