The largest space mirror in the world

A giant 3.5 meter mirror was designed in Toulouse in France. The mirror mounted in front of the Hershel telescope will be launched into space in 2007.

If all goes well, it will allow tracking the establishment of the first stars. This is a unique device, the largest space mirror in the world. It will be installed in front of the future infrared telescope that will be called Hershel. Mirrors are the result of 10 years of research and 4 years of design.

The example of the European space agency will illuminate the dark places in space, where people now see nothing. Thanks to the illumination of infra-red light, the telescope has to be reconsidered.

Scientists said: " Hershel will allow scientists to better understand the formation of stars and stars from the formation of galaxies. It is a process that began in the past. 12 billion years and of course, there has been continuous movement since then . "

Hershel telescope is expected to be launched into space in 2007. In a negative environment of 200 degrees, it will have to operate for 4 years.

After that, the beautiful and beautiful mirror will be floated floating in space.
