About this trail:
Ever since corrective optics technology has become available from the Regan's Star Wars projects, much larger ground based telescopes are being developed. Also interferometric both radio and optical telescopes are mature due largely by cheap computing power.

"With a main mirror around 42m-wide, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will allow remote objects to be studied in greater detail than ever before."

This is not an optical telescope, but a radiowave one.
4
"It will measure 24m (80ft) long by 12m (40ft) high and incorporate a hexagonal mirror 6.5m (21.3ft) in diameter, almost three times the size of Hubble's."

Two 8 m adaptive mirros.
A nice and tidy collection.
