I heard that there are mirrors that are a lot better than other mirrors.
Is it the smoothness of the glass? I read the glass is put over the
reflected surface to keep the silver from tarnishing. Would it help if
the silver surface was in a vacuum,or helium? Well the Hubble's mirror
is in the best vacuum. Now that computers can adjust them I like
multiple smaller mirrors for deep space viewing.

What if we model telescopes like the eyes of flies?. The brain of the
fly makes a composite picture out of those 50 light sources. I'm sure
our great computers could do the same thing. Bert
