Resumen de Robot eyes scan for dust
A giant pair of eyes staring across vast cosmic distances in an attempt to find aliens belong to the recently upgraded Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), which sits on top of Mount Graham in Arizona. Its two 8.4-meter-wide mirrors can collect and combine light as if they were a single 11.8-meter mirror, technically making it the largest operating telescope in the world. Astronomers are currently using the LBT to study the dust around distant stars, with the hope of understanding how it might obscure light reflected by Earth-like planets in orbit.
