One of the first known reflecting telescopes, Newton's reflector of 1668, used a 3.3 cm polished metal primary mirror.
For example, the Giant Magellan Telescope will have seven 8.4 meter primary mirrors, with the resolving power equivalent to a 24.5 m (80.4 ft) optical aperture.
The Hubble Space Telescope has a 2.4 metres (7 feet 10 inches) primary mirror.
[5][6] The Green Bank Telescope has the world's largest steerable single radio dish with 100 m in diameter.
[7] There are larger radio arrays, composed of multiple dishes which have better image resolution but less sensitivity.
