Revolutionizing Astronomy: The Game-Changing Extremely Large Telescope

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), set to be completed in 2028, will be the world's largest optical telescope, with a main mirror diameter of 39.3 meters. It will revolutionize observational astronomy by shedding light on various aspects of the universe, including the role of black holes, the effects of dark matter and dark energy, and the study of exoplanets. The ELT's enormous mirror will enable direct imaging of exoplanets and the analysis of their atmospheres, potentially revealing signs of alien life. Additionally, the telescope will provide insights into the early universe and help resolve mysteries surrounding the formation of stars and galaxies.
