Posted on the 06 December 2014 by Nrjperera @nrjperera

ESO is now officially moving forward with its European Extremely Large Telescope, which comes with a mammoth 39-meter (128 feet) main mirror to help us look further into the space and take crystal clear photographs of even the tiniest planets farther in space. It’s main goal is to take a closer look into Earth-like planets and find more habitable planets.

The construction of the Extremely Large Telescope will begin late 2015 in Chile’s Atacama Desert with plans to put it to work by 2024.
