    Construction on a giant telescope that could settle the question of alien life is almost complete.
    Rising from the barren landscape of northern Chile, its vast silver dome now dominates a peak in the Atacama Desert.
    Still under construction but almost complete, it will soon house one of the most ambitious scientific instruments ever built - the Extremely Large Telescope. It’s a telescope that will dwarf even the European Southern Observatory’s nearby Very Large Telescope - and provide even more detailed observations of our universe.
    A newly released image from the European Southern Observatory shows the telescope’s outer dome nearing completion at Cerro Armazones. At 93 metres wide and 80 metres tall, the structure is designed to protect a telescope whose primary mirror will measure an unprecedented 39 metres across - almost four times the diameter of the largest mirrors currently in use.
    When complete, the dome will rotate on a massive concrete base, opening enormous motorised doors to give the telescope an uninterrupted view of some of the darkest skies on Earth. The outer aluminium cladding, now being fitted, will shield the sensitive optics from intense daytime heat and rapid night-time cooling, while shock absorbers built into the foundations are intended to protect the structure from earthquakes.
    The Extremely Large Telescope’s mirror alone will be made up of nearly 800 individual segments, each about 1.4 metres wide and only a few centimetres thick, all of which must be aligned to an accuracy measured in millionths of a metre.
    The dome itself is expected to be completed by next year. Shortly afterwards, engineers will begin installing the telescope’s five giant mirrors and its complex suite of optical instruments.
    Once operational, the ELT is expected to transform astronomy. Working in optical and infrared light, it will provide the sharpest images ever obtained from Earth, allowing scientists to study distant galaxie *

    Astronomers have expressed delight that the world’s clearest skies, in Paranal, Chile will remain pristine after the cancellation of a huge factory project.
    The firm AES Andes announced that it will step back from the megaproject INNA, which was to produce hydrogen and ammonia. It was to be located near the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s) Paranal Observatory.
    The Observatory is world-renowned for capturing stunning images of the galaxy - and even helped identify an asteroid that will come worryingly close to hitting the Earth in 2032.
    “When the cancellation is confirmed, we’ll be relieved that the INNA industrial complex will not be built near Paranal,” said ESO Director General Xavier Barcons. “Due to its planned location, the project would pose a major threat to the darkest and clearest skies on Earth and to the performance of the most advanced astronomical facilities anywhere in the world.”
    A detailed technical analysis by ESO last year revealed that INNA would cause severe, irreversible damage to the dark skies of Paranal and to the capacity of its facilities to operate as designed. The most significant impacts, affecting facilities such as the Very Large Telescope (VLT), the VLT Interferometer (VLTI), the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), and CTAO-South, would be caused by light pollution, micro-vibrations, dust, and an increase of the air turbulence in the area.
    “As we have said before, ESO and its Member States are fully supportive of energy decarbonisation and initiatives that ensure a more prosperous and sustainable future. Green-energy projects — and other industrial projects that drive national and regional development — are fully compatible with astronomical observatories, if the different facilities are located at sufficient distances from one another,” says Barcons.
    The scientists say the INNA case and its proposed location highlight the urgent need to establish clear protection measures in *** Local Captio
