This is the official trailer for the E-ELT, the European Extremely Large Telescope (Credit: ESO). I used it in my Universe Today story, Armazones Chile to be the Site for the 42 meter European Extremely Large Telescope?(http://www.universetoday.com/2010/02/12/armazones-chile-to-be-the-site-for-the-42-meter-european-extremely-large-telescope/)
@twirlingchair No. LHC was built by CERN. E-ELT will be built by ESO (European Southern Observatory). It's called European [Southern] Observatory becasue all its telescope are in Southern Hemisphere.

when it comes to optical and HF infra red. Bigger is better, This scope is some kind of cassegrain/ newtonian hybrid thing. And this one like the kek scopes (i think thats the right contraction) have the ability to warp their primary mirrors, in response to a focasing laser, to weed out atmospheric distortions thus giving super sharp pictures.
