Telescope E-ELT -Artist's view - European Extremely Large Telescope - Artwork: Artist's view of the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), a telescope project measuring 40 metres in diameter. Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field - Artist's impression of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) in its enclosure on Cerro Armazones, a 3060-metre mountaintop in Chile's Atacama Desert. The 40-meter-class E-ELT will be the largest optical/infrared telescope in the world - the world's biggest eye on the sky. Operations are planned to start early in the next decade, and the E-ELT will tackle some of the biggest scientific challenges of our time - This artist's rendering of the E-ELT is based on the detailed construction design for the telescope

Launched at the end of December 2006, this satellite studies the physical phenomena occurring inside the stars. It is also used for the detection of extrasolar planets by observing the periodic micro-eclipses that these planets cause by passing in front of their mother star. This artist's view shows the COROT satellite, consisting of a 30 - centimetre space telescope launched in late 2006. COROT uses its telescope to monitor closely the changes in a star's brightness that comes from a planet crossing in front of it. While it is looking at a star, COROT is also able to detect 'starquakes', acoustical waves generated deep inside a star that send ripples across a star's surface, altering its brightness. The exact nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate the star's precise mass, age and chemical composition

The Spitzer Space Telescope (formerly SIRTF, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility) was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on 25 August 2003. During its mission, Spitzer will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space between wavelengths of 3 and 180 microns (1 micron is one - millionth of a meter). Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground

Stellar black hole - Artist's view - A stellar black hole - Artist's view of a system composed of a star orbiting around a black hole. A stellar black hole is born from the gravitational collapse of a massive star. The stellar black holes have a mass of some solar masses. A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that it stops any form of material or radiation from escaping. Combining observations done with Eso's Very Large Telescope and Nasa's Chandra X-ray telescope, astronomers have uncovered the most powerful pair of jets ever seen from a stellar black hole. The black hole blows a huge bubble of hot gas, 1000 light-years across or twice as large and tens of times more powerful than the other such microquasars. The stellar black hole belongs to a binary system as pictured in this artist's impression

Stellar black hole - Artist's view - A stellar black hole - Artist's view of a system composed of a star orbiting around a black hole. A stellar black hole is born from the gravitational collapse of a massive star. The stellar black holes have a mass of some solar masses. A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that it stops any form of material or radiation from escaping. Combining observations done with Eso's Very Large Telescope and Nasa's Chandra X-ray telescope, astronomers have uncovered the most powerful pair of jets ever seen from a stellar black hole. The black hole blows a huge bubble of hot gas, 1000 light-years across or twice as large and tens of times more powerful than the other such microquasars.

Artist's view of the Exoplanet HD 189733b - Exoplanet HD 189733b - Artist's view of the transit of the Exoplanet HD 189733b, a hot Jupiter (gas-like planet very close to its star), in front of its star. HD 189733b was discovered in 2005 in the constellation Little Fox. Using the Hubble space telescope, astronomers have detected carbon dioxide and monoxide in the atmosphere of this planet. Previously, methane and water vapour had already been detected in his atmosphere. But with a surface temperature of over 900 degrees, this planet remains too hot to shelter life. This is an artist's impression of the Jupiter - size extrasolar planet, HD 189733b, being eclipsed by its parent star. Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have measured carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the planet's atmosphere. The planet is a “” hot Jupiter,””” which is so close to its star that it completes an orbit in only 2.2 days. The planet is too hot for life as we know it. But under the right conditions,

Telescope E - ELT - Artist's view - European Extremely Large Telescope - Artwork - Artist's view of the E - ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), a telescope project measuring 42 metres in diameter. Construction of this European project could start in 2010, with a planned inauguration around 2017. Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field. With a 42 - m diameter primary mirror, the present baseline, its total rotating mass is 5500 tons. The two platforms on each side of the structure hold large instruments. The telescope features a novel, innovative design, based on 5 mirrors. The primary 42 - m mirror is composed of 906 segments, each 1.45 m wide, while the secondary mirror is as large as 6 m in diameter. A tertiary mirror, 4.2 m in diameter, relays the light to the adaptive optics system, composed of two mirrors: a 2.5 - m mirror supported by 5000 or more actuators so as to be able to

Exoplanete of inhabited terrestrial type - Artist's view - Extrasolar intelligence revealed - Artist's view of an extrasolar planet housing an alien civilization whose artificial lights reveal its presence. This image suggests how an extraterrestrial civilization on an earth - like planet might reveal itself via artificial light sources, in this case brightly lit cities that follow the contours of the ocean coasts. Perhaps some day there will be a telescope powerful enough to resolve such evidence for extrasolar intelligence
