Lawrence Livermore Laboratory scientists designed and built a telescope that, as of March 14, was out of this world.
Lab officials describe atmospheric gravity waves -- oscillations of air that transport energy and momentum from the lower to upper atmosphere -- as creating"turbulence like ocean waves crashing on a beach."
"If we could accurately predict the conditions that trigger these erratic gravity waves or hypersonic flows, it could inform better vehicle design, reduce costs and improve overall hypersonic flight performance," Horsley said.
