Retrospective: Historical Briefs From Past Issues

The July 2000 Journal published in: “An Ultrahigh-Sensitivity Color HDTV Camera for Shooting Heavenly Bodies” by K. Majirna, S. Sunasaki, J. Yamazaki, and T. Ando. “With the International Space Station under construction for use in the 21st century and the inauguration of Subaru, the world's largest astronomical telescope now in operation, interest in space has grown stronger. HDTV has long been considered suitable for application in astrophysical and other space science programs, but the real-time imaging of heavenly bodies requires the use of a highly sensitive high-definition (HD) camera. The essential point in developing ultrahigh-sensitivity cameras for shooting dark objects such as heavenly bodies is overcoming noise: photon noise increases with frequency.” For the full article, see: https://tinyurl.com/July-2000
