The primary mirror, M1, is the largest mirror ever made for an optical telescope. It's 39m in diameter, made up of 798 hexagonal segments aligned to behave as a perfect monolithic mirror.
M4 is the largest deformable mirror ever made and can change shape 1,000 times per second, correcting for atmospheric turbulence and vibrations to ensure high-quality imagery.
