Caption

Principal Investigator Manuel Quijada is dwarfed by the two-meter coating chamber where he applies thin films onto telescope mirrors that can be as large as one meter in diameter. The ability to coat large mirrors is key to enabling astronomical instruments of the future. Credits: NASA/W. Hrybyk
