Currently, the world's largest telescope is in the research phase designed under the supervision of the Southern Observatory.

As planned, the telescope will be completed in 2018.

Currently, the Hubble Space Telescope is arguably the most famous in the world because it can capture a lot of photos of high-definition stars.

Space telescope has many advantages, in which the most important strength is that they are not disturbed by the Earth's atmosphere when observing astronomical observations.

However, they also have weaknesses, which are very difficult to build because of their large size. The larger the diameter of the telescope, the more light is obtained.

Although the world's largest European telescope is built underground and will suffer from atmospheric interference, however, with a diameter of 42m, it can help to see many details about the systems. distant planets that other space telescopes cannot observe.

The advent of this telescope helps to learn more and more about the deep secrets of the universe, and can capture a lot of information about the origins and developments of early times. of celestial bodies. /
