Telescope E - ELT - Artist's view - European Extremely Large Telescope - Artwork - Artist's view of the E - ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), a telescope project measuring 40 metres in diameter. Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field. Artist's impression of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E - ELT) in its enclosure on Cerro Armazones, a 3060 - metre mountaintop in Chile's Atacama Desert. The 39.3 - metre E - ELT will be the largest optical/infrared telescope in the world - - the world's biggest eye on the sky. Operations are planned to start early in the next decade, and the E - ELT will tackle some of the biggest scientific challenges of our time

Telescope E - ELT - Artist's view - European Extremely Large Telescope - Artwork - Artist's view of the E - ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), a telescope project measuring 42 metres in diameter. The construction of this European project is expected to start at the end of 2010 and will be inaugurated around 2018. Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field. With a 42 - m diameter primary mirror, the present baseline, its total rotating mass is 5500 tons. The two platforms on each side of the structure hold large instruments. The E - ELT features a novel, innovative design, based on 5 mirrors. The primary 42 - m mirror is composed of 906 segments, each 1.45 m wide, while the secondary mirror is as large as 6 m in diameter. A tertiary mirror, 4.2 m in diameter, relays the light to the adaptive optics system, composed of two mirrors: a 2.5 - m mirror supported by 5000 or more actuators so

Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field. A new architectural concept drawing of Eso's planned European Extremely Large Telescope (E - ELT) shows the telescope at work, with its dome open and its record - setting 40 - metre - class primary mirror pointed to the sky. In this illustration, clouds float over the valley overlooked by the E - Elt's summit. The comparatively tiny pickup truck parked at the base of the E - ELT helps to give a sense of the scale of this massive telescope. The E - ELT dome will be similar in size to a football stadium, with a diameter at its base of over 100 m and a height of over 80 m. Scheduled to begin operations early in the next decade, the E - ELT will help tra

Sunset on the Cerro Paranal Observatory - Sunset on Paranal observatory, Chile, 2007. - Twice a year, the Sun sets exactly on the top of Cerro Paranal for an observer located at the top of Cerro Armazones, 20 km away. The silhouettes of three of the four 8.2m telescopes, the VST and the meteorological tower are visible. Image obtained with an astronomical bezel and a solar filter. Twice per year, the sunset passes exactly behind Paranal mountain for someone located on the summit of Armazones mountain, 20 km away (~ 12.5 miles). This picture was taken in these conditions. It clearly shows 3 of the 4 big 8m unit telescope (UT) domes (4th one is behind the others), the VST enclosure on their right and the high meteorological post with the DIMM tower on the extreme right. On the left of the picture, the partially opened dome of the smaller 1.8m Auxiliary Telescope (AT) are also visible. The image was taken with a Takahashi FS128 refractor telescope, a Canon20Da camera and special Solar fil

Telescope E-ELT -Artist's view - E-ELT concept: Artist's view of the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), a telescope project measuring 39 metres in diameter. Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field. The Cerro Amazones mountain in the Chilean desert, near Eso's Paranal Observatory, will be the site for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), which, with its 39-metre diameter mirror, will be the world's biggest eye on the sky. Here, an artist's rendering shows how the telescope will look on the mountain when it is complete in 2024
