Many public buildings used large mirrors in their decorating schemes, as well. We take mirrors for granted today, but consider how many times you rely on them in your daily life.

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new way to produce and shape large, high-quality mirrors that are much thinner than the primary mirrors previously used for telescopes deployed in space.
