Comparison of nominal sizes of apertures of the above extremely large telescopes and some notable optical telescopes. An extremely large telescope (ELT) is an astronomical observatory featuring an optical telescope with an aperture for its primary mirror from 20 metres up to 100 metres across, [1] [2] when discussing reflecting telescopes of optical wavelengths including ultraviolet (UV ...
Ohnaka’s team used the Very Large Telescope Interferometer to study the star in 2005 and 2007, but the researchers waited years for one of the telescope’s second-generation instruments ...
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is a planned extremely large telescope (ELT) [5] [6] [7] proposed to be built on Mauna Kea, on the island of Hawai'i. The TMT would become the largest visible-light telescope on Mauna Kea. [8] [9] Scientists have been considering ELTs since the mid 1980s.
The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is a ground-based, extremely large telescope currently under construction at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile's Atacama Desert.With a primary mirror diameter of 25.4 meters, it is expected to be the largest Gregorian telescope ever built, observing in optical and mid-infrared wavelengths (320–25,000 nm).
