Liquid mirrors have two main advantages over conventional glass mirrors: they are considerably cheaper, and it should be possible to build them to much larger diameters. They also have other interesting optical properties: very high surface quality, low scattered light, very low or very high numerical apertures that are easily achievable, and variable focus that can be controlled with high precision. The low cost, large size and fast optics are particularly noteworthy advantages.
