The ELT (Extremely Large Telescope) is a next-generation astronomical observatory currently under construction by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile. It is designed to be one of the world's most powerful telescopes, with a primary mirror of 39 meters (128 feet) in diameter, making it the largest optical/near-infrared telescope in the world.

The ELT is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe by providing unprecedented capabilities for observing the universe in unprecedented detail. Some of its key features include:

  1. Large primary mirror: The ELT's primary mirror is made up of 798 hexagonal mirrors, which will work together to collect and focus light from distant objects in the universe.
  2. High-resolution imaging: The ELT will be capable of producing images with resolutions as high as 10-20 times better than the Hubble Space Telescope.

            1. Spectroscopy: The ELT will be equipped with advanced spectrographic instruments that will allow scientists to analyze the light from distant objects in unprecedented detail, providing insights into the composition, temperature, and motion of celestial objects.
            2. Multi-wavelength observations: The ELT will be capable of observing the universe across a wide range of wavelengths, from visible light to near-infrared and even radio waves.
            3. Advanced adaptive optics: The ELT will be equipped with advanced adaptive optics systems that will allow it to correct for the distortion caused by the Earth's atmosphere, providing sharper images and more accurate data.

              The ELT is expected to make significant contributions to various fields of astronomy, including:

              1. Exoplanet hunting: The ELT will be able to detect and characterize exoplanets, including those that are similar in size and composition to Earth.
              2. Black hole research: The ELT will be able to study the properties of black holes, including their mass, spin, and accretion rates.
              3. Galaxy evolution: The ELT will be able to study the formation and evolution of galaxies, including our own Milky Way.
              4. Cosmology: The ELT will be able to study the properties of the universe on large scales, including the distribution of galaxies and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

              The ELT is expected to begin operations in the mid-2020s and will be located at the ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile.
