A first-of-its-kind telescope shows off what it can do.  It’s dual mirrors are equivalent to a single 75 foot (22.8 meter) mirror.

“The images that this telescope will produce will be like none seen before. The power and clarity of this machine is in a class of its own. It will provide unmatched ability to peer into history, seeing the birth of the universe.”  http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080306075214.htm
