Big Photonics Advances Build and Power Big Telescopes
Bigger aspheric mirrors enable astronomers to see farther into space – but they require special designs. For astronomers, bigger is better: In general, the scientific value of a telescope scales to the fourth power of its diameter. So, doubling the size boosts scientific worth 16 times – assuming no limiting factors. Artist’s impression of the 39-m European Extremely Large Telescope sitting atop Cerro Armazones in the Chilean Andes. Photo courtesy of European Southern...
