Constellation-X is modeled after the Keck Observatory, twin optical telescopes each 10 meters (37 feet) wide. Both observatories can collect an enormus amount of light. Keck and Constellation-X are the complements to the great high-angular-resolution space telescopes: Hubbel Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, respectively.
