Astronomy
The field of astronomy covers the study of all objects and phenomena originating beyond Earth’s atmosphere. From stars and asteroids to supernova explosions and solar winds, astronomers are advancing our understanding of the universe and our place in it, driving technological advancements, from imaging systems to data processing. Popular among these studies is the hunt for exoplanets. The most precise astronomical spectrographs are integrating Menlo AstroCombs for calibration.
