Beam me up, Yepun
Equipped on the Yepun Unit Telescope of ESO's Very Large Telescope is a Laser Guide Star Facility, a key element of adaptive optics. Appearing to beam into the far reaches of space, this laser system creates an artificial star in the Earth's atmosphere. This artificial star allows for astronomers to correct for atmospheric turbulence which can hamper the quality of their data.
