- hello astro #instrumentation friends, i am begging y’all to put the weight, dimensions of your instruments, and power consumption of your instruments on your website somewhere (if possible 🥺) sincerely, a student struggling with finding instrument details for an assignment 😭
- Too large to be made from a single piece, the ELT's 39m mirror will consist of 798 segments. To work together, the segments get their misalignments adjusted by edge sensors and actuators with a precision of just a couple of nanometres 🤯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-FX... 🔭 🧪 #instrumentation
