The Extremely Large Telescope, what a great name for a extremely large telescope

[tmochie]

I can't wait for our future generations to have their own Ultra Mega Ginormously Huge Space Telescope

"Should the James Webb Space Telescope be worried?" No. It's a telescope.

It's unfair to compare the VLT, ELT, and other ground-based telescopes with the HST or JWST. They have different missions, varying light spectrum targets, viewing abilities (a reason the JWST is going to loiter in a LaGrange point), etc. There are more reasons to be excited about all of these telescopes than reasons to place one over the others!

there's so much noise in the world right now, this channel brings much needed calm

The Atacama desert is such a wonderful place, i wish that more people have the chance to admire such beautiful night sky.

This is the stuff that gets me excited, screw all the political nonsense blasted out in media everyday

As someone who lives in a city, It would be nice to go on a huge clearing and look at the star covered skies.

When scientists use the world "extremely" you know it is serious

[mountaingoat]

Absolutely baffling, this has got to be one of the greatest and most exciting pieces of technology in human history. Can't wait to see what it captures

[Escatonic]

Comparing this to the James Webb is silly. They're designed for very different purposes. In the context of cars it's like comparing a rally car with a drag racing car. The James Webb is designed for long wavelength viewing, which the ELT isn't equipped to do due to the atmosphere. On the other hand, as for being a light bucket the ELT would be very hard to beat.

Hey Alex, I'm glad to see that your channel grew to become so successful over the years. Unsure if you remember who I am, but I helped voice one of your first videos way back in 2014 under the name HumbleBee. I went on to study Nursing, but I kept up with doing voice-overs and eventually returned to YouTube for fun. I just wanted to say that it was a pleasure working with you and I'm glad I found your channel again. Keep up the good work!

Once all these great observatories are online, I would love to see them all point to the same location, and do a multi perspective analysis.

[StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

I really love how land-based telescopes are often named in such a utilitarian fashion. I can only assume that someone has at least considered naming something the "Really Big Telescope" at one point.

[reiillyy]

These videos although I've only watched you for a couple of days... It amazes me everyday.

[SoumyadeepBanerjee]

The Extremely Large Telescope is an engineering marvel!

[mukeshC]

There’s only one word I would use to describe your presentation: Hypnotic!

[ai-with-steve]

I literally said "Wow" out loud when they showed it next to the Colosseum and stadium.

[ValensBellator]

For everyone guessing about future names in the comments, this project actually resulted from the cancellation of the original they had named “Overwhelmingly Large Telescope” 😂
