Resolving an elephant at 5 light years?


I decided for chuckles to calculate the telescope aperture required to resolve an elephant at a distance of 5 light years and came up with a 9 million km mirror. I may have slipped up. Let resolution be defined as Dawes' at .116/m of aperture, and y'all can handle the trig and the size of the elephant any way you want within reason.

This is a tricky calculation with lots of zeroes so I thought I would throw it out for someone to double check.

I'll be there's more than one person out there who can crunch this so "best answer" may be reserved for the answer that includes a reasonable calculation of the thickness and cooling time of the pyrex. You can choose another substrate if you like. Don't forget to show your work! (within reason)

thanks.

I thought I'd add that, to get this resolution, you do not literally need a 6 million km diameter telescope mirror. It can be done with a phased locked array of just a few telescopes spread out in space over 9 million km. It's easier to do such a thing with radio waves (google "very large array") because the dimensional tolerances are larger, but has been done a few places for 10's of meters with visible light. Making it bigger it "just" a matter of refining the technology and putting it in space. There's still the issue of intensity, though; it would be nice to collect more than a few elephant photons. Some day ...
