Maybe not, but that’s exactly what it is! To be more precise, it’s <a href="https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13530">a set of mirrors that will be used on an X-ray telescope</a>. But why does it look nothing like the mirrors you’re familiar with? To answer that, let’s first take a step back. Let’s talk telescopes.</p><h2>How does a telescope work?</h2><p>The <a href="https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/telescopes/en/">basic function of a telescope</a> is to gather and focus light to amplify the light’s source. Astronomers have used telescopes for centuries, and there are a few different designs. Today, most telescopes use curved mirrors that magnify and focus light from distant objects onto your eye, a camera, or some other instrument. The mirrors can be made from a variety of materials, including glass or metal.</p><div class="npf_row"><div class="npf_col"><figure class="tmblr-full"><a class="post_media_photo_anchor" data-big-photo="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s1280x1920/d3337496a4005a17c9eb0a6d96e2547e09ae97bf.jpg" data-big-photo-height="1650" data-big-photo-width="2550"><img class="post_media_photo image" src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s500x750/be405ba7c17c5c3745d0ab368335345a812c9bc6.jpg" srcset="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s75x75_c1/7537a77bfab7f7febe3201e99e0edbfbfcc24be3.jpg 75w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s100x200/096a7fdd31ed8e72c0562124f67448d5aa9ee476.jpg 100w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s250x400/8f7abfd64233309f8d3a4a1acb9b5917377a6116.jpg 250w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s400x600/8eb6b5ddead2cf9c5e1984aa316a31aeb7f6f53f.jpg 400w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s500x750/be405ba7c17c5c3745d0ab368335345a812c9bc6.jpg 500w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s540x810/178149bda1e1f83d1e4277397425cab386955eed.jpg 540w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s640x960/0c205128a0361784f3c13fd76373d59686c17cdd.jpg 640w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s1280x1920/d3337496a4005a17c9eb0a6d96e2547e09ae97bf.jpg 1280w, https://64.media.tumblr.com/7550f448f528ac989fa1b4ebdcb55561/44bdb70662753227-65/s2048x3072/c8811f325281ce42a6b9feb32052c2a7d0b15188.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" alt="Diagram showing a reflecting telescope with a pair of mirrors to focus the light on the detector — in this case, an observer’s eye.

away. </p><p>Martin Luther King once convinced her to continue on as Uhura when she was about to quit. He told her how she was a role model for so many people and <i>had</i> to stay on. He rightfully recognized her as a trailblazer and the inspiration she continued to be. </p><p>(Second picture is Nichols participating in a recruitment program for NASA in late 70s/early 80′s, aimed at women and people of color. The third picture is Nichols onboard the stratospheric observatory for infrafred astronomy in 2017, as one of the first non essential personell to be able to do so) </p></blockquote> </div> <div
