The largest mirror currently being USED is the 21-foot mirror(6.5 meter) (there are two twin 21-foot telescopes)in the Magellan telescopes at Las Campanas, Chile. The biggest mirror *not yet* in a telescope is the 27-foot (8.4 meter) mirror that was cast last July at the University of Arizona, one of two that will go in the Giant Magellan Telescope to be installed on the same mountain.

the enormous Bang theory isnt absolute. It merely supplies the main smart rationalization for the boost of our universe (which maintains to this present day). in case you ought to run the universe backward in time, you will possibly see each and every thing getting closer and closer till its compressed right down to the size of am atom (or perhaps smaller). The B B theory is supported via the cosmic history radiation that exists all over the universe. yet like all theory it extremely is thoroughly incorrect. It doesnt let us know what banged, or why it banged, or whilst it banged. We dont be attentive to how something could be infinitely dense or how each and all of the issue that the universe is created from got here from one tiny element. regardless of if the universe became "born" from a single element, in what did that single element exist? Its so difficult to totally hold close the completed suggestions of the universes origins. Its like our minds can almost hold close a crude know-how,, yet no longer lots else. Its so weird and wonderful!

In Spain! There are 60 mirrors 120 m2 each of them. They move like sun moves and they reflect its light to a special liquid which starts to boil an to produce high speed vapors which they can set a move of a generator!
