Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The new generation of ground-based telescopes use computer-controlled mirrors that can constantly adjust their shape and correct for atmospheric turbulence. This results in sharper and clearer images of celestial objects. Options A, B, and D are not unique to this new generation of telescopes, as there are older telescopes that have the ability to eliminate light pollution, detect X-rays, and see through clouds.
