European Extremely Large Telescope

European Extremely Large Telescope

“The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), with a main mirror 39 metres in diameter, will be the world’s biggest eye on the sky when it becomes operational early in the next decade”

Aside from the having a most unimaginative title, this looks like it could be the shit. Still, it could have been the ’Overwhelmingly Large Telescope’, which was planned to be around 100m in diameter. Also, for context, the lower photo is the proposed site, and depicts some of the view. (source)
