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 3,000-metre-high platform in northern Chile. With a primary mirror that will be the largest in the world when it goes into service, the ELT mega-telescope 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.
