By keeping in view some important factors that, scientists crave in telescope mirrors to place them on moon and to study its mysteries in more detailed manner, Astrophysicists at Laval University in Quebec have proposed a new way to create large mirrors for powerful telescopes by creating them via liquid.
This liquid substance used to develop large telescopic mirror is called ionic liquid that does not evaporate and can stay in liquid form even at the ultralow temperatures of the moon’s surface.Secondly, to effectively turn it into a large, smooth mirror, fluid is coated with a silver lining that also makes it highly reflective.
It is also worth mentioning that to build large mirrors for telescopes is not so easy engineering challenge to enable one to see universe primeval epoch because the focusing mirror is predicted to be as large as a football field.
Though, the mirror is also paramount to use with no atmosphere or light pollution and the moon is only a best place for such a gigantic device but I think to transport it their is not a cakewalk.
