Here's everything you need to know about the Extremely Large Telescope, which will become the largest telescope in the world when it is completed at the end of the decade.
ESO is currently constructing the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) in the central part of Chile's Atacama Desert. Once completed, it will be the largest optical/infrared telescope in the world. Jakob is overseeing the mechanical design of the telescope and is responsible for developing the ...

The Very Large Telescope in Chile is getting an upgrade that will allow it to hunt for planets in the next star system over, Alpha Centauri. The new upgrade should allow the telescope to find any planets that might be in the habitable zone of the Alpha Centauri system, providing a target...
Provisionally dubbed E-ELT for the European Extremely Large Telescope, ESO's innovative concept was presented in detail two weeks ago to more than 250 European astronomers at a conference in Marseille. Their enthusiastic welcome paved the way for the decision by the ESO Council to move to the ...
This infographic compares the size of the Extremely Large Telescope’s (ELT) main mirror with that of other planned major optical ground-based telescopes. The ELT, with a main mirror 39 meters in diameter, will be the largest telescope of its kind in the world. This picture was inspired by...
Artist’s impression of the European Extremely Large Telescope. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada When you want to watch the sky, size really matters. The more light a telescope can collect, the more information we can get about stars, galaxies, quasars, or whatever the heck else we want to take...
With a main mirror 39 metres in diameter, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), is going to be, as its name suggests, enormous. Unlike any other before it, ELT is also designed to be an adaptivetelescopeand has the ability to correct atmospheric turbulence, taking telescope engineering to ano...
