->> Their Dragonfly Telephoto Array uses eight telephoto lenses with special coatings that suppress internally scattered light.
This makes the telescope uniquely adept at detecting the very diffuse, low surface brightness of the newly discovered galaxies.
'These are the same kind of lenses that are used in sporting events like the World Cup.
'We decided to point them upward instead,' van Dokkum said.
