That's quite interesting. It seems like the detection is straight forward, but I bet there's a ton of work in the anticoincidence algorithms. Marc My website Traceract Understanding Simple Data Binding Diary Of A CEO - Preface

From the article:
It uses two massive 8.4-meter (27.6 foot) diameter primary mirrors
Bet it's more than seven years bad luck if you break one of those... :doh:

They discuss, in a very simple manner, some of the anticoincidence here ... Pair Telescopes[^] [quote] To this end, anti-coincidence shields are used which cover the entire telescope with a charged particle detector. If the anti-coincidence shield has detected a charged particle, it won't allow the chamber to trigger to prevent detecting cosmic rays. In addition, it is common to have a so-called time-of-flight system, which are detectors which determine the relative times at which the pair travel through the chamber. In this way, it can be determined whether the pair came from the correct direction. [/quote]

All the more amazing when you consider it cost $120 million. The Hubble has cost about $2.5 billion (including making and servicing it. The development costs are discussed here: http://sm3a.gsfc.nasa.gov/messages/203.html[^]) (While I think the Hubble has been very cool, I find the current romantic attachment to it fiscal folly, even more so in light:) of this new telescope.) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke -- modified at 11:55 Friday 28th October, 2005
