ELT: The New Telescope that could Find the Origin of the Universe

Күн бұрын

In Chile's Atacama Desert, men and women are building the world's largest telescope. A titanic construction site with record numbers and stakes, isolated from the rest of the world. The Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT, is being built on the summit of Cerro Armazones, a 3,000-metre-high platform in northern Chile. With a primary mirror that will be the largest in the world when it goes into service, the ELT mega-telescope will be able to travel even further into the universe, offering us unprecedented images. A veritable revolution for astronomical researchers, and one we're eagerly awaiting... That's what we're going to see today in this new episode of Looking 4. Enjoy the video.

That's a big ole telescope. One thing you didn't mention that I think is really cool is that it's supposed to be able to correct for atmospheric distortion. I don't know exactly how it works, but somehow they point a bunch of lasers at the sky that detect the distortion, and then software makes corrections to the image in real time. It'll be pretty amazing if it works.

@eriktempelman2097 6 ай бұрын

This is standard practice now. E.g. the Very Large Array telescopes (not far from the ETL) already use this sort of correction. Tom Scott did a great (what else?) video on it. It also captures the ELT.

@la7dfa 6 ай бұрын

The laser creates "guide stars" that will be used to correct the image for distortion.

@catman8965 6 ай бұрын

It's called "Adaptive Optics". The primary mirror can change its shape to correct for atmospheric distortion as measured from the sodium (yellow) lasers.

@markdoldon8852 6 ай бұрын

That system (called adaptive optics does work, and is in use at almost all major telescopes worldwide for decades now. It all depends on massive computing power that can detect the 'flicker' of the light from lasers shining into the upper atmosphere and then correct the shape of the mirror by moving those (739?) hexagonal segments by microns at a time, in real time. The whole massive surface is constantly moving imperceptively to the human eye, to cancel out atmospheric disturbances. This is by far the largest application of the engineering, but it principal the system is well understood.

@thomaslewis7883 3 ай бұрын

Good point. Imagine this telescope sitting on the far side of the Moon.

@oker59 6 ай бұрын

Ten times better resolution than four interferometric optical telescope. Maybe, but the ELT also combines all the light into one image. The four telescope interferometer doesn't combine all four to make a single image. They only combine the light for spectroscopy. When they take a picture, they take a picture with only one of them. So, it would be more accurate to compare the ELT to just one of the four optical interferometer telescope.

@Pharisaeus 5 ай бұрын

This is not true. There are imaging instruments at VLTI which can combine interference fringes to get an image - in the past AMBER and MIDI and now PIONIER and GRAVITY can do that. So no, they combine light not only for spectroscopy. But you are correct that it's not a 1:1 comparison because interferometry is not "magic" - not only you don't collect the same amount of light as real mirror of that size, but you also "lose" 90% of the light by bouncing it around into a single focus. As a result you might get better resolution from interferometer, but it will only work for very bright objects. ELT will be able to see significantly fainter objects.

@themist9648 Ай бұрын

For those unfamiliar with the laser pointing at the sky. It is called Adaptive Optics .It projects the laser in the atmosphere and looks like point star distorted by air turbulence. Because the shape is known the computer calculate and compares the laser image with the distorted star image from big telescope. Then the computer sends corrections to the secondary mirror. Secondary mirror is very thin and has several small electromagnets under the mirror surface like those in a an audio speaker which with the signal from the computer bend the surface of the mirror and correct the image.

The stars are way too far away for a few thousand feet to make any difference whatsoever.

One thing is certain. If astronomers locate a planet with conditions favorable to life, huge corporations will vie for the opportunity to exploit and pollute it.

Wonderful presentation. .but I don’t think the James Webb telescope is at the heart of the Milky Way, any more than we are.

9:12 Accuracy for mirror assembly: hundredths of micrometers, not hundreds. So, tens of nanometers.

Will it be better than the JWST?

@sentientflower7891 6 ай бұрын

Better is not a meaningful term since the JWST sees things this telescope cannot see.

@Marc816 Watch the video again. They pointed out many of the different capabilities and differences between the two telescopes.

How does it compare with JWST ?

I'm guessing the same telescope sitting on the Moon would rewrite most of what we know about the universes deepest mysteries.

Dang. Have to travel 130km x2 for lunch. Cool workplace at night. Hot as hades during the day. Siesta all day and work astrophysics at night. Damn cool.

Maybe the biggest ever telescope to be constructed on earth. I guess eventually there will be bigger telescopes in space.

that's called planning. it's fully funded and on schedule, so natural or man-made disasters notwithstanding, no reason it shouldn't be finished on time.
