Description
Illustration of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) on the Cerro Armazones mountain in the Chilean desert. The ELT will be the largest optical and near infrared wavelength telescope in the world. The 39-metre diameter primary mirror is augmented with four smaller mirrors which form part of the telescope's adaptive optics system, reducing signal interference from the Earth's atmosphere.
