A constant problem in astronomy is how to make bigger and better mirrors for the telescopes. Glass, which has long been used for the smaller mirrors, is almost out of the question for a really large project. The reason for this is that the surface curvature of these reflectors must be correct down to a fraction somewhere between a quarter to a half millionth...
