NASA scientists will now work on packing the telescope's mirrors, the largest of which is 6.5 meters wide.

美国国家航空航天局的科学家们现在将忙着包装望远镜的镜面，其中最大的一面有6.5米宽。

Those steps are complicated but have been done before, on ground-based telescope mirrors.

这些步骤很复杂， 但以前已经在地面望远镜镜上完成过。

Like a telescope mirror, the scallop's tiled squares create a smooth surface, which minimizes optical aberrations.

像望远镜镜一样，扇贝的平铺正方形创造了一个光滑的表面，从而最大限度地减少了光学像差。

Bigger telescope mirrors let us take sharper and clearer images, and they also make it easier for us to gather light from faint and faraway objects.

更大的望远镜镜子让我们拍摄出更锐利、更清晰的图像，它们也让我们更容易从微弱和遥远的物体中收集光线。
