Just saw this on the ABC web site.
The scientist said in the video that the telescope with it's 1meter lens
is the largest telescope in space.
He should have said for clarification,that it is the largest telescope out of low Earth orbit, as it is in orbit about 150million kilometers from Earth.
The HST which has a mirror of 2.4 meters is much larger but is only 569 kms above the Earth.
