Why do Observatories shoot lasers at the Sky?
The Hubble telescope out in space is unhindered by atmospheric disturbances. The Nursery Rhyme: 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' does not apply in space. Little or big stars do not twinkle. Engineeers on earth are not going to sit and twiddle thumbs to match the twinkling. Being CEans they shoot a laser beam into the sky, create an artificial star outside the atmosphere, analyse the twinkling of this star and compensate the twinkle of the other stars.
Truly amazing application of technology matching any Star Trek activity.
