The team found the dancing stars while surveying for White Dwarf pairs using the 6.5-meter Multiple Mirror Telescope on Arizona's Mount Hopkins.

In his first observations from Mount Wilson, Hubble used a telescope with a mirror one hundred fifty-two centimeters across.

To date, the LZT is largest, although India, Belgium and Canada are building the International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT), a 4-meter project which should see completion by March.

Hubble, too, was built by Lockheed, but its own near-fatal flaw, an improperly shaped mirror which crippled the telescope for three years, was the fault of the mirror's manufacturer, Perkin-Elmer.

This is done using a technique called interferometry, which merges the beams of light in a way that simulates the sharpness (though not the brightness) of the images that would be obtained from a telescope whose mirror was 200 metres across.
