So its a bent lens with a skilled publicist?

I am aware of the structure of mirrored telescopes.

And I was under the impression that an adjustment was made to the interpetation of the recieved signals, rather than a correction to the mirror surface itslf; and while this will approximate what the raw inouts would have been, it does not duplicate them.

But if the above reading was incorrect, then we are already looking at the optimum frequency, and presumably there is nothing there. In whic case the Paradox persists.

Huh?

Then you should have known it didn't use lenses.

The spherical aberration correction is made in the individual instruments now. Originally, a corrective system called COSTAR was put into the Hubble, but every instrument that has been up since then has had the correction built into its optical system.

No change has been made to the primary mirror. However, the aberration is very well understood and has been corrected extremely well.

I did, I also know the functionality of the mirrors is identical to the functionality of a lens. Whic is why I used the term; at least then evryone knows what function the bent bit was carrying out.

Shadowy Man

Whatever.
