Comparison of nominal sizes of primary mirrors of notable optical reflecting telescopes, and a few other objects. Dotted lines show mirrors with equivalent light-gathering ability.
  • I've reviewed the file and fixed all issues I could recognize (I'm speaking English, Russian, and Hebrew, and with some help from translation tools could make fairly educated guesses for other Slavic langs there; for Chinese, I totally relied on Google Translate, and the changes I made were very minor). It would be great if someone could re-generate text2path stuff after Arecibo’s text was updated. Also, I see that the generated PNGs show some issues for James Webb and Gaia – looks like the subscripts there are breaking something. DmitTrix (talk) 09:47, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I'm torn, because I love the comparisons of scale, but I don't like the crowding or the overlapping text, so I wonder whether it might be better as a table, though I recognize the problem of FAST and the radio telescope in Arecibo being so much bigger than the others. This is definitely a good VI, but is the usefulness sufficient for it to be featured, or might we decline to feature it, for aesthetic reasons? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:19, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not possible to show that much information in reduced space in another way. While it would be possible to create a table, the information would be lost, and we couldn't see the relative size, so we would miss the point of this file. Yann (talk) 09:58, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
