So, imagine a lens the size of a football field.

The WorldWide Telescope takes the best images from the world's greatest telescopes on Earth and in space, and has woven them seamlessly to produce a holistic view of the universe.

If it's circular, you make a spherical lens.

Frost Glass

A monocle?

Folded lens, you divide up the panels, you add flexures.

But the small scenes, the fragments of the mirror, you remember those.

The General Assembly is being asked to view events in the region through the distorted lens of one sided perceptions.

Infrared lens.

Some measurement of small debris in LEO have been done using optical telescopes, but in general, radars outperform telescopes for measurements in LEO.

It's as though I were walking down a long corridor that once was mirrored, and fragments of that mirror still hang there.

These are not glasses, these are empty frames.

The 21st century now allows us to build bigger glasses much bigger glasses.

They called it the Eyeglass.

A piece of broken mirror.

Some optical measurements of small debris in LEO have been done, but in general radars outperform telescopes for measurements in LEO.

Through the lens the image was inverted.

There lens and can be zoomed

Upon removal of the contact lens, users experienced clear, natural vision without the need for daytime contact lenses or glasses.

Imagine being able to make perfect lenses.

We take a microscope slide.

Well, down here on the floor. The glass is broken.

So in order to read it, I'll look into your mirror.

The Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science (ISTS) and the University of Western Ontario are studying the space debris monitoring potential for large diameter, non steerable, ground based telescopes based on the liquid mirror concept developed at Université de Laval.

Now you've finished the lens, you literally pop it out.

Give him the monocle test? Passed with flying colours.

The retina chip that we designed sits behind this lens here.

And there's many of them, all over its entire body.

It's a monocle. Looks cute on you.

The design called for geosynchronous orbit 25,000 miles up, 100 meter diameter lens.

Coin sized mirrors on the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 and Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacements units have since served as quot contact lenses quot for HST.

Specular

Rectangular

Two groups are involved in the detection and observation of debris objects from the ground using optical telescopes.

On the left, this is a brittle star it's covered with lenses that the people at Lucent Technologies have found have no distortion whatsoever.

Blood tests, stomach acid tests, Xrays and more...

And underneath the microscope there were splinters of glass.

Absolutely irreplaceable stuff. Priceless. The best film I ever took!

For the mirror?

If it's elliptical, you can make an astigmatic lens.

Here, instead of through the lens of a genome, through the lens of digitized pieces of the historical record.

You set a couple of boundary conditions, like gravity, the surface tension, density, etc., and then you press execute, and magically, the universe produces you a perfect ball lens.

That's my camera lens. The first one the one I shot my Bob Dylan film with 35 years ago.
