The Keck Observatory, located in Hawaii, utilizes a scintillation detector as part of its adaptive optics system. This technology helps to mitigate the effects of atmospheric turbulence, allowing for clearer and sharper images of celestial objects. Scintillation detectors measure variations in starlight caused by atmospheric conditions, providing data to correct distortions in real-time.
