Explanation.

Ohh typical human although we didn't make contact yet we're already shooting them with laser guns.
On a more serious side, anyone can explain what I'm looking at?

Our atmosphere is not a stable optical medium. They measure the apparent distortions of a laser beam and apply the correction to the shape of the telescope mirror.

There's only one reason astronomers would shine lasers into the night sky - they've found cats on other planets and their reaction to lasers is hilarious.

won't the galaxy move out of the way by the time the laser reaches it?

Dear god, that laser beam must be travelling faster than the speed of light! It's impossible!
