T2 The WHT Mirror
This is the main mirror of the William Herschel Telescope -- the most expensive mirror in Europe, and at 4.2 metres the biggest too. It weighs about 13 tons and is made of special ceramic with an aluminium coating. GranTeCan will have a bigger mirror when it's finished, but since GranTeCan's mirror is segmented, the WHT will still have the largest in Europe.
Eso es el espejo primario del telescopio William Herschel -- el espejo más caro de Europa, y tabien lo más grande con un diametro de 4,2 metros. Pesa 13 toneladas, y es hecho de una ceramica con una capa de aluminio. GranTeCan tendrá un espejo de 10,4 metros, pero segmentado. Asi que el Herschel siguirá el espejo mayor de Europa.
