In 2024 earns European Extremely Large Telescope Bashny.Net

Building European Extremely Large Telescope will no longer be delayed. The project of its construction in the Atacama Desert was adopted two years ago, but the construction of начинают Only now, thanks to Poland. The country has made such a sum of money that the telescope is now funded by 90%. In the first phase will be built dome and the structure itself, it will take 10 years and 1 billion € ($ 1, 24 billion). The second phase will include the addition of the main mirror and optical systems, fix the vagueness of the planet's atmosphere. Developers expect that to finance the second phase will join Brazil.

Explore space with this telescope will be possible to complete the construction, after the first stage - in 2024.





The main tool обсерватории in the Chilean Atacama Desert will be Tele with a segment of a mirror diameter of 39, 3 meters, which will allow to collect 15 times more light than existing telescopes now. The level of detail will be better than the orbital "Hubble": this is done using an optical system corrects blurred due to work in the Earth's atmosphere.



At the same time in Hawaii in October began construction of the telescope a little less - its mirror has a diameter of about 30 meters. He must make by 2022.



Even earlier, in 2021, planning to open Гигантского Magellan Telescope with a 24-meter aperture. So after six or seven years we will be getting a lot more interesting pictures with expanses of space.
