    Ornithologists should hang out with astronomers. They do the same naming scheme with telescopes. They’ve named some classics like the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST).

    Edit: a word

      Don’t forget the Very Large Telescope, the Extremely Large Telescope, and the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope.

      Five Hundred Meter Spherical Telescope (FAST)

      Where does the ‘A’ come from?
      The phonetic “faiv”?
