This makes the liquid mirror telescope possible.
Since the main mirror in a telescope must be parabolic, this principle is used to create liquid mirror telescopes.
She was also a member of the Science Working Group for the giant segmented mirror telescope.
This article will explain how a liquid mirror telescope works.
The newer method of coating for the telescope mirrors was first tested on the older 60 inch mirror telescope.
The site will receive a 360-cm telescope and a 400-cm liquid mirror telescope by the year 2012.
These telescopes represent the next generation of segmented mirror telescopes; they are currently at least a decade from completion.
Mercury is also found in liquid mirror telescopes.
Regardless of the specific configuration, such a telescope would be similar to an earth-based liquid mirror telescope.
This is the principle behind the liquid mirror telescope.
