The ELT is on its way to becoming the largest optical telescope in the world, and as it rises beneath some of the clearest ...

Astronomers have discovered the most distant and thus earliest spiral galaxy ever seen, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This "twin" of the Milky Way existed just 1 billion years after the ...

Beneath a breathtaking full Moon, construction on the world’s largest optical and infrared telescope—the ELT—progresses in ...

is a 3.000-metre mountain that lies in the central part of Chile's Atacama Desert, close to Europe's existing facilities at Cerro Paranal, where an array of telescopes has been constructed.

So Doeleman founded a network of observatories, collectively called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). In 2011, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) opened in the Atacama Desert of Chile ...

The discovery was made using the world's largest radio telescope, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), consisting of 66 antennas across the Atacama Desert region of Northern Chile.

The proposed high-resolution telescope would be able to observe near-Earth objects, which are classified as asteroids or comets. But the project quickly became entangled in China's spiraling ...
