@mrdexter86 Listen friend, just because the Professional ASTRONOMER happens to be a Feemale in this Case , she is NOT going to Date "NOBODY". She is Dated to her Giant Astronomical Telescopes and Large Format C.C.D. Cameras. Grow up you people , you've been through School, well you CANNOT Date your Teachers, They are Professional Scientists NOT Dating partners. I thought you would have figured that out , What do you people learn in School Anyway????
@Jules7892 lol calm jules. It's not like scientists don't have significant others once in while. :P
why are you getting worked up over a compliment someone said. If there had been an attractive male scientist in here for some female to write that she wanted to date him, it's the same thing. Her intelligence is attractive is all
I like the name Extremely Large Telescope! I always get a kick out of the name of the Very Large Array, as well. The fact that they didn't give it some impossible-to-remember scientific name is pretty awesome.
THANKS! I like all your videos they are very interesting. My favorites folder seems to be filling with this as well as those from "Periodic Videos". I hope that you also do a video about the James Web Telescope
why does it have to be a single mirror? why not use dosens or hundreds of smaller mirrors and make the originally planned 100 meter telescope. Imagine if the mirror get's cracked! the whole project is ruined while if there would be more of them only the specific broken part would need to be changed
TBH... Seeing the other galaxies and other stars across the universe is not enough. i wish we actually had the technology to actually TRAVEL to those places...
This new telescope sounds just a bit intriguing...! I have enjoyed Astronomy ever since I was a young Boy in Bartlesville, Ok. Car Sagan was probably the most impressive one indiviual involved in Science and Astronomy I have experienced. I could sit and listen to him discuss the stars and the universe for hours.
I have been involved with Seti@Home for a number of years.....Still "Listening"....lol.
It's called theory of relativity... If you watch Susan Boyle then this then yes, she is hot, unfortunately I just been watching Dido so she ain't! All relative.
"hubble had to be fixed thanks to an accident in the measuring..."
bullshit. tell us the truth!
the whole planet uses the metric system, except for: the united states, liberia, and burma. of course they built the hubble telescope mostly using the metric system. but some US engineers (scientists already use the metric system, even in the US) were involved with the mirror, and they messed it up with their inches and failed to get the distances to be compatible with the metric telescope.
Ha ha ha! Rather sadly, he didn't say shitload of light, which would have been excellent. he actually said shedload. It's a slang UK expression. I've always taken it to be like truckload, only in the amusing units of the shed. Ahh, How we laughed.
Wow!! Great telescope! With this European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) observe and detect extrasolar planets and other objects will be much easier! Just incredible!
yeah my grandad went to the telescopes in hawii and he had to park his car quite far away from the top of the mountain and walk to the top beacuse up there it is supposed to be one of the less polluted place in the world and u arent allowed to drive up there because of the emitions
Could you do a video on how exactly a telescope works. There's a few issues when it comes to telescopes - magnification of an image, how does a big mirror exactly enable us to see whats in front of it, how are the images recorded, passed into an image sensor. Great video, so interesting but I'm still kind of wondering what how exactly they work.
WOW.then,light does actually have pixels(represented by photon rays).so,that means we can 't infinitely resolve light!and that mean,it is only possible to enlarge/zoom a vision until we see at least a photon!something smaller than photon will never be seen! i m dizzy ={
Well, if there's a small number of photons, you can just take the photograph for a long time. The Hubble deep field photographs took months I think. A photon will not limit the resolution at all, until you get to the extremely small, like an optical microscope will have limits. That's why an electron microscope is better than a light microscope (electron has a smaller wavelength).
why not to place it in deserted place? you can place solar panels around it what will consume the sunlight to charge it? Lolers, what about other technologies what are used to watch the sky?
The choice of telescopes is to assemble mirror array modules that look like honeycomb arrays, each trip to space add another module to make it bigger, in space you don't have to worry about weight, space array telescopes could be made hundreds of miles in diameter or larger.
The biggest single mirror was produced by USSR engineers - diameter: 15m. It was made of single block of glass weighting several tonnes. Unfortunatelly during the cooling process which took about a year (think about how much energy and effort they had put into that) it broke due to internal tensions of glass... great loss. Another cool idea for a mirror is to take liquid mercury and rotate it on a disc. The centrifugal force would make a parabolic concavity serving as mirror.
@LechuCzechu Well if it broke, or cracked before being used, the it was a failure. Simply put they did not produce anything usable. Therefore the Russians produced nothing except propaganda which you apparently swallowed. Silly Git!
It wasn't propaganda, I've learned this form a professor on my university who worked, at that time, in Russia and saw whole process himself. Yes it was a failure but certainly their intensions were sincere - they just wanted to make a telescope. USA also had many failures and many programes used only as publicity stunts. And please, don't call me names...
Photons splatting in the roof of my house after travelling for billions of years... hmm, poor photons. Never thought of it that way. ;-)
But what I would like to now: How many photons from outside the solar system (or even better from outside the milky way) hit a square meter every second? I really like the notion of "absorbing" photons created in stars billions of lightyears away!
I'm afraid I don't believe that the ELT, with its 42m diameter mirror, will ever be built. Dr Gray and her colleagues are more than welcome to prove me wrong by taking me there when it's ready. PM me when it's done. ;-)
To put this into perspective, I have a cheap Ø 114mm telescope and I still get blown away by what I can see through that.
Two things:
Why no mention of the Arecibo radio telescope? Its a Fkin Large (radio) Telescope.
And to the Hikers out there.. Largest optical telescope beeing 42meters across.
