The bigbirds are the same basic piece as the hubble, as least the same airframe. Built in the same plant, shipped in the same containers..... people have connected the dots from there.

The idea you can read license plates is getting into fantasy, you can't do that, even if the earth had no atmosphere that would be difficult. But they can get very tight, down to making out people pretty well, even some objects.
