Size Comparision of Major Active or Planned Telescopes
One thing I've noticed is that scientists are notably bad at naming things.
- "Overwhelmingly Large Telescope"
- "European Extremely Large Telescope"
- "Very Large Telescope"
Really though, I'm super excited for these to be finished and active. If we look at what even just the Hubble can do:
We're really in for a treat with these new telescopes, namely the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be launching October 2018! We will be able to see farther into space than ever before.
Upvoted you
