Scientific paper

The superb resolving power that is achieved by the HST is considered. It is noted that about a sixth of the light of each star is concentrated in an image core that is only a little larger than the theoretical limit that a 2.4-meter mirror such as HST's can reach. The sharp image cores do allow a much higher resolving power than is available from the ground.
