Test the world's largest mirror telescope
Last weekend, the world's largest mirror telescope, located atop La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands, began experimental activity to search for planets outside the solar system.
Last weekend, the world's largest mirror telescope, located atop La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands, began experimental activity to search for planets outside the solar system.
This mirror telescope started construction in 2000 at a cost of about 130 million euros. The focus of this glass is a strip of parabolic mirrors with a diameter of 10.4 meters that is responsible for detecting planets outside the solar system.
This mirror range, produced by Schott of Germany, consists of 36 small six-sided glass panels assembled together. The whole building is located on a mountain peak at an altitude of 2,400 m above the sea level.
This mirror telescope will be tested for 1 year to test all parts. During this time, the remaining parts of the glass will be fully assembled.
