...central conundrum confronting designers was this: how to make a telescope mirror that could hold its shape against gravitational sag and gusting winds yet retain the capacity to make rapid adjustments to fluctuating temperatures. As mirror size increases, these two requirements begin to dictate different, and quickly contradictory, solutions. Very thick mirrors resist physical deformation extremely well, but because they retain so much heat, they tend to generate shimmering currents in the cold night air that play havoc with astronomers' observations. Very thin mirrors, on the other hand, have ideal thermal properties but a daunting physical handicap: as the telescope...
...task ahead for Keating, 47, is hardly enviable. Labor fortunes continue to sag as the country's recession drags into its 18th month, with unemployment running at a 60-year high of 10.5%. Keating, who designed the economic- liberalization program that precipitated the country's slump, must now prove he is also the man to put the economy back on track.
