“Unlike traditional star-based navigation systems ... can lead to significant positional inaccuracies. While atmospheric refraction methods show promise, they require highly stable platforms.

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - To create atmospheric optics we need two things: ice crystals in the air and a light source. All three phenomena can occur when a light source interacts with ice crystals.

For habitable exoplanets in particular, located at a small angular separation from the host star, it is crucial to employ small ... For ground-based telescopes, atmospheric refraction is also an ...
