- OldGuyInTheClub 3y agoOr, "Once Was Larger" "The ESO specialists expect resolutions from OWL that are up to 40 times higher than those of the Hubble Space Telescope. If the 100-meter mirror cannot be financed, a 60-meter variant is being planned. The name OWL would remain the same. Because then the project is jokingly called »Once was larger«." https://www.itespresso.de/2006/04/17/groesstes-observatorium-der-welt-pcpro/ https://www.itespresso.de/2006/04/17/groesstes-observatorium... --> Google Translate
