Here's What You Should Know About The New Telescope Named GOTO
A powerful new telescope helps scientists monitor collisions of neutron stars or dead suns. While NASA’s James Webb telescope is busy exploring space and sending amazing photos of galaxies back to Earth, one revolutionary telescope scans the sky for colliding dead suns and helps scientists better understand physics. The new telescope, called the Gravitational Wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO), is located on the volcanic island of La Palma in Spain. According to Interesting Engineering, the new Gravity Wave Optical Transient Observer consists of two jet-black batteries of eight cylindrical telescopes bolted together. To cover different parts of the sky, the GOTO instrument rapidly rotates and rotates vertically and horizontally to capture the collision of the dead sun, known as a neutron star. How Do Scientists Study Dead Star Collisions Using GOTO? Astronomers in 2017, by sheer luck, observed the collision of two neutron stars. After that, British scientists built the Gravitati
