13. The Hubble space telescope has diffraction-limited optics determined by the aperture (mirror size) of 2.40 m diameter. It detects light emitted from two stars having a wavelength of 656 nm. The two stars are very close to each other and are at a distance of 7.57 x 10¹7 m from Earth. If the telescope is just able to resolve the stars as separate images, find the approximate distance separating them in meters.
