In Chile's Atacama Desert, men and women are building the world's largest telescope. A titanic construction site with record numbers and stakes, isolated from the rest of the world. The Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT, is being built on the summit of Cerro Armazones, a 3,000metrehigh platform in northern Chile. With a primary mirror that will be the largest in the world when it goes into service, the ELT megatelescope will be able to travel even further into the universe, offering us unprecedented images. A veritable revolution for astronomical researchers, and one we're eagerly awaiting... That's what we're going to see today in this new episode of Looking 4. Enjoy the video.
