N.B.: The Charles Bolden Space Telescope (CBST) is one of the most advanced space telescopes of humanity by 2112 A.D. You might find Matt's implication in its data processing in his BIO .
N.B.: The size of the Mercury was shrank in the final concept after my calculation of the Mercury's Angular Diameter and CBST distance
N.B.: Speaking of Angular Diameter, the sun image you might see on the Main Menu of the Daedalus due to hard sci-fi approach is not just "observation window"-view. It is a huge display built-in. I know, in Sunshine movie crew could observe the Sun from some transparent windows but the reality and astronomy are against it. The average angular diameter of the Sun seen from Earth orbit is 0.5° while its angular diameter seen from Venus is just a little larger - 0.74°. Larry quite patently illustrated it there. Hence, one does not just enjoy direct spectacular view of the Sun from the orbital backyard neither from Earth nor from Venus
