The LAMA telescope employs an array of fixed 10-meter liquid-mirror telescopes. These are located in a closely-packed configuration with an overall diameter of 54 meters. Approximately 62% of the light that falls within this area is collected and focussed on a common detector. This gives the array a light-collecting power equivalent to that of a 42-metre telescope. 6, record 1, English, - large%2Daperture%20mirror%20array

Le projet LAMA : un assemblage de 18 miroirs liquides disposés en cercles concentriques. En combinant leurs images, on obtiendrait une résolution inégalée, équivalente à celle d'un télescope de plus de 40 mètres, pour une fraction du prix des autres télescopes géants. [...] Avec le télescope LAMA, on pourrait même détecter des planètes de la taille de la terre en orbite autour d'étoiles lointaines. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9lescope%20LAMA
