    SCIENTISTS LOOK FORWARD TO FINISHING WORLD'S BIGGEST TELESCOPE CONSTRUCTION

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Scientists are looking forward to the finish
    of constructing the biggest telescope of the world, The European
    Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT).

    ELTs are a priority for the world's astronomers because they are
    going to be able to reveal things that people have never seen before
    by giving scientists a mammoth viewing lens into the night sky.

    When they call this thing large, they mean it. The lens alone is going
    to be 40 meters wide, which is 131 feet and some change. It will be
    the largest lens on the planet, and will be capable of giving a new
    view of distant space. Apparently it will be able to capture images
    that are 15x sharper than Hubble.

    One of the priorities for the European Southern Observatory (ESO)
    is to track down Earth-like planets, as well as planets in habitable
    zones. In addition, the ESO will be focusing on super-massive black
    holes, working to uncover more information on dark matter and its
    dispersal in the universe.

    It is going to be exciting when the ESO finishes the E-ELT, planned
    to be some time around the end of the decade, as the discoveries that
    await it are sure to produce some awesome imagery, Geek.com reported.
