On Saturday 15 October 2011 ESO opened the doors of its headquarters in Garching bei München, Germany, to the public. Throughout the day, thousands of visitors had the chance to help build a full-size mock-up mirror of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) -- the largest planned telescope in the world -- and to experience many other aspects of ESO's work.

  • I would think the VLT interferometer would be a more powerfull telescope than the thirty meter telescope?

    Anyways, the VLT has finally linked all four 8 meter telescopes interferometricaly. Sounds exciting.  ALMA is progressing very well also!

  • @tuzmor Just imagine a world in which the actual military expenses were used on scientific research. US spends more only on air conditioning for soldiers in Irak and Afghanistan (U$20 000 000 000) than the entire NASA budget.

  • we should establish a fund for astronomical research and help out the human space exploration.

  • @tuzmor Wise words!...
