Background Research on Air pollution’s effect on telescopic images

  • I became generally interested in astronomy and space science through reading “Astronomy magazine” and other related text
  • I came to understand that telescopes put in space such as the Hubble telescope, Kepler telescope have significant limitations in how large a part of the sky that they can monitor at a time.
  • Here in the comfort of the Earth’s a telescope can be set up very easily and be pointed to various parts of the sky with ease.
  • However, the earth’s atmosphere creates aberrations in space images.
  • I wanted understand the correlation between air pollution and the quality of space images.
