    I'm 52 and I have a 12 year old son. When I was his age the 200" Hale was what we junior astronomers talked about. I used to write letters to "The Hale Observatory" in Pasadena and they were always kind enough to send back black and white pictures. It would be so amazing to be my son's age again because the next 40 years are going to be amazing.

      I’m about the same age. I remember when Hale was THE telescope as well (given the Soviet telescope had problems). We’ve come a long way since then and are heading for some pretty amazing times!

The next one after that will be called the speechlessly large beyond large telescope. The next one will be called I can see aliens eating breakfast with my indescribably unfathomably large telescope!

      @Donald Kasper Stars rotate around their galaxy. The galaxies move. Just like Andromeda is moving toward us. Light gains energy and shifts blue when moving toward us(gain in frequency) and red when moving away(loss in frequency). This is simple physics. We weren't even sure other Galaxies existed, until 1929 when Hubble published an article - using Cepheid variable stars to measure distance - that showed Andromeda was not in the Milky Way, but another Galaxy.

    Thanks Launch Pad. I was referring to deep field and extra deep field imaging. Hubble would spend weeks for its exposures. How will these Very Large Telescopes duplicate such ambitious exposures?

    • @LaunchPadAstronomy
      @LaunchPadAstronomy  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not certain, but my guess is that these telescopes wouldn't be well-suited to those types of long-duration imaging because of the dynamic atmosphere. Adaptive optics will help in the near-IR, but it would still need to be a cloudless, steady night for several nights. So yes, it might be doable but could they justify that much time for an uncertain payoff?

    • @joeshmoe7967
      @joeshmoe7967 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well for one thing, where Hubble is, it is always night time. Deep field was days of exposure. Of course stacking is always an option and you can add more and more data in the future. Amateurs are are accumulating many hours of data, over years.

      Sagittarius A* has an apparent size in the night sky of a marble... lying around on the Moon's surface, as seen from Earth. To have a shot at resolving it visually, you'd need an aperture measured in 1000's of kilometers, out there in space. And that's obviously completely unrealistic, so as it stands - interferometry was the only way.

In ELT's case, one will be removed for cleaning every day. Also, the dome is air-conditioned during the day to keep the dust down.

    *How does this ELT Earth telescope compare to the James Webb space telescope?*
    I understand it's six times stronger, but it's going through our cloudy atmosphere.

      Let in answering, but James Webb is primarily oriented towards the infrared. It's for seeing very far out, where the light has been red shifted heavily by the time it gets to us. Earth based telescopes can't really see in that spectrum because there's way too much heat pollution down here.

      The thing is, life is just chemistry. And chemistry needs a liquid solvent for reactions to happen. And water happens to be the only one that's liquid in a non-extreme temperature and doesn't happen to be corrosive or else.
