Hi Pamela and Fraser;

I just wanted to clarify something; In the show you say that the Keck telescopes use single cast mirrors. The Keck observatory website says:

"At the heart of each Keck Telescope is a revolutionary primary mirror. Ten meters in diameter, the mirror is composed of 36 hexagonal segments that work in concert as a single piece of reflective glass."
