Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
