When people look through a telescope, air currents in the Earth’s atmosphere can distort the images they see. In the 1950s, a scientist named H. W. Babcock thought of a way to reduce this distortion by using a special device within the telescope. However, this device was not used until the 1990s.
Which best explains why Babcock’s idea took many years to become a reality?
