My Way News - Largest Optical Telescope Now Operating
AP reports: "The world's most powerful optical telescope is now operating on southeastern Arizona's Mount Graham, capturing striking images of objects millions of light years away. The Large Binocular Telescope - two 8.4-meter diameter mirrors that together gather more light and have 10 times the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope - took its first images using both mirrors late last year. The first images were released to the public on Thursday."
