Summary
DescriptionComparison optical telescope primary mirrors.svg |
[edit subpage] English: Comparison of nominal sizes of primary mirrors of notable optical reflecting telescopes, and a few other objects. Dotted lines show sizes of round mirrors that would have had equivalent light-gathering ability.
The telescopes shown on this comparison chart are listed below, ordered in each sub-section by (effective) mirror/lens area, low to high, and then by actual/planned first light date, old to new. The "present-day" status is given as of the beginning of 2024. See also List of largest optical reflecting telescopes. Largest refractors (for comparison):
Ground-based reflectors:
Space telescopes:
Radio telescopes for comparison:
Other objects for comparison:

23:05, 21 February 2024 | 512 × 536 (169 KB) | DmitTrix | fixed scale’s units being too close to the numbers; added Arecibo years in all languages; restored some numeric character references for editability; work in progress | ||
