Powerful Technological Telescopes

The Unistellar eVscope Received an Award at CES 2018

— January 9, 2018 — Tech
Most consumer telescopes aren't nearly powerful enough to provide any useful data, but the Unistellar eVscope uses an onboard computer to make it 100 times more powerful than the classical telescope layout. In fact, the technological telescope is so capable that it can actually be used to provide data to the SETI Institute on things like asteroid tracking.

Because of its value in providing data for professional astronomers, the Unistellar eVscope has received a prestigious CES 2018 Innovation Award. And while the bulk of the value in the device comes from its ability to advance scientists' work, the scientists also provide some value for consumers. The telescope is equipped with notifications, so researchers from the SETI Institute can let consumers know when special events like super novae and asteroid flybys will take place.
Trend Themes
1. Technological Telescopes - Developing powerful telescopes with onboard computers that can be used to provide useful data for professionals and also offer value to consumers with notifications.
2. Astronomy Data Accessibility - Making astronomy data accessible to the general public through technological telescopes with notifications and real-time data alerts.
3. Asteroid Tracking - Increasing the use of technological telescopes for asteroid tracking and advancing scientists' work in the field while also offering value to consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Astronomy - Developing and advancing the field of astronomy with technological telescopes that can provide real-time data notifications for both professional and amateur astronomers.
2. Consumer Electronics - Developing and marketing consumer-friendly telescopes with onboard computers suitable for tracking the movement of celestial bodies.
3. Space Research - Advancing space research with telescopes that can provide valuable data to organizations like the SETI Institute on things like asteroid tracking.
