The telescope has a primary monolithic mirror that is 4 metres (13 ft) in diameter. An absolute minimum continuous wavelength range is 0.4 to 1 μm, with possible short wavelength extensions down below 0.3 μm and near infrared extensions to 1.7 μm or even 2.5 μm, depending on the cost and complexity.

This mosaic image of asteroid Bennu, was taken on December 2, 2018 by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft from a range of 15 miles. Organic samples returned from Bennu contain the building blocks of life on ...
By: Troy Frisby/Patrick Jones, Buzz60 NASA's new pictures of Earth are reigniting conspiracy theories straight out of "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies. These are not necessarily in the public domain. Materials based on Hubble Space Telescope data may be copyrighted if they are not explicitly produced by the STScI . [1]
Developed by a collaboration of scientists and engineers including the PLANETS Foundation, the ELF aims to analyze the surfaces and atmospheres of exoplanets for evidence of life, focusing on nearby star systems within 25 light years of Earth. [1] The telescope’s design features non-redundant circular arrays of 5-meter-scale mirrors and ...
