...given its 6.5 meter (21 foot) diameter light-collecting primary mirror, about six times larger than Hubble’s 2.4 meter (7 foot, 10 in) diameter mirror.
The math seems a little off, doesn’t it?
It’s that ‘New Math’ stuff I never understood in school.............🤔
Poor reporting. If you go by area, I think it’s closer to 7x as large as Hubble, but 6x is in the ballpark. ~45 ft sq. (say 50) vs ~346 ft sq. (say 350) Assuming my pi x (r*2) calc is correct.
