GuillermoBarrancos Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 This is going to be very interesting.Also about the part where they claim to be able to take even sharper clearer pictures than the Hubble Telescope.Can't wait to see the first pictures coming up from that beast.

iamjulian Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I love the names they give to them. I think the next one should be called the British Ruddy Massive Telescope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserClarke Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 The previous concept, for a 100m telescope, was called OWL; which is a quite nice name -- connotations of seeing things in the dark, etc -- until you realise it stands for "OverWhelmingly Large Telescope" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
