This is taking forever, been following this for 10 years.
Yh is it ready now? It's taken ages.
Work stopped during the Covid epidemic.
How remarkable. Thanks for bringing this to us.
Thanks for watching!
8.6M primary? Woah, here I am with my 90mm 😂
3.2 giga pixel!
Every square millimetre of that image is going to be like you specifically focused on it.
Lovely architecture, in a amazing location, it looks beautiful already. definite 👍for the episode.
When will this beautiful machine come into operation?
We humans can do some absolutely amazing things when we want to.
Yeah. At the same time do ungodly terrible things to our earth and to each other.
Great to meet the men who build these facilities.
The Rolls Royce of telescopes
Thank You, that you make your Word truth 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😃🙂.
not to take away from this scope, but there is something so very organic and emotional about seeing it with your own eyes and not through a computer screen.
What a cool place to work i bet. Nightly smokes would be fantastic.
Now they need to come up with a way to avoid the MANY Starlink satellites that this telescope will capture nightly.
But how? Starlink has already light polluted much of the night sky and thousands more to be launched for what? For influencers on Instagram?
@@malcolmcurran6248 Global internet reach can be a major benefit to many things commerce wise.
I'll bet they come up with a way to remove them from any images.
This is what should we invest in, not wars.
If not for defense not one human would exist. Astronomy and defense have massive overlaps,Hubble was a spy satellite,left over by the spy agency. Most of our technical advancements come from defense. Our highway system was a defense item. Every organism on Earth struggles against competitors not just humans.
So we know what it's called but no mention of where in the world is Wally?
I think that she forgot where she was LoL 🤣.
In the North of Chile
The observatory is located on the El Peñón peak of Cerro Pachón, a 2,682-meter-high mountain in Coquimbo Region, in northern Chile, alongside the existing Gemini South and Southern Astrophysical Research Telescopes. The facility is located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) away by road, in the town of La Serena.
A good telescope is a fast telescope. I would have thought the opposite.
So using the sun as a lens would be what, an F16?
Great question. I looked up that the Sun bends light about 0.87 arc seconds. That comes out to about f/474,000.
Taking flats must be a bear.
Only for Southern sky.
The comment in the video is misleading. It’s at 30 degrees south latitude. It should be able to photograph the northern sky as well to about 50 degrees North declination or more.
Well ... let's see if then ... enough talk
A 4 minute video on this telescope is worthless. There are other longer more informative videos on YT that detail this incredible telescope.
ELT will be way more potent 💪🏻
That is way down the road,much smaller field of view. Don't think the camera is even there yet.
Different scopes - different capabilities.
@@robertsonsidCorrect. Very different capabilities and mission.
The Giant Magellan Telescope will by far offer the best science of any telescope present or planned for the next 10 years. It has many, MANY times the resolution of the Webb. IT (Giant Magellan) is the Ferrari of telescopes. The Rubin's observations are planned to the second, for the next decade. It's more like a long haul trucker who can tell if a blade of grass off a particular exit is different than a week ago.
First you cannot compare resolution with a space telescope that compensate smaller mirror with the benefit of having no atmosphere.
Secondly, the ELT that is underconstruction will have a 40 m mirror and .005 arcsec resolution compared to 25 m and .01 arcsec for the Magellan... "By far ... ?"
Regardless of their sole resolution performances, they will be both state of the art for their specific purpose.
Giant Magellan not even funded.
Second!!😂
Outstanding.
