Lasers Create Ultra-Lightweight Mirrors From Styrofoam Beads:
It's much easier for a telescope to see deep into the universe when it doesn't have to peer through the Earth's atmosphere, but getting them into space is expensive. There is a much cheaper solution, though, as researchers have actually found a way to make incredibly light mirrors using lasers and polystyrene—aka styrofoam—beads.
