The 220 Mirrors of CRTF
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
The Central Receiver Test Facility in New Mexico uses 220 mirrors, each over 7 meters in diameter. These mirrors focus sunlight onto a single tower. CRTF's primary purpose is to research methods for collecting and using solar power. It does not create sky images like a traditional telescope, but rather gathers light over a vast area.
