The Mega Telescope

The European Union (EU) has initiated a project to build the world’s largest telescope to solve the mysteries of the unsolved universe with a lens so big that there’s a vast range to observe space.

The construction site for this massive telescope is the 3,000 metre high mountain of Cerro Armazones in central part of Chile’s Atacama Desert. The E-ELT (Extremely Large European Telescope) is a revolutionary scientific project, with a 39 metre diameter mirror that will gather 15 times more light and sharper images than any other existing telescopes.

This is a big development in the field of astrophysics, for it will be easier to study intergalactic bodies or even planets with greater detail. Such an enormous device would also help in averting disasters by alerting meteorological departments.


The most wonderful and precious element of universe is the human life which can only be guided by the right knowledge and right attitude. So, here is an ocean of knowledge, both in English and Hindi encompassing every detail and each facet of human life which ‘one must know’ in order to grow and attain the summits of success. A team of around 200 dedicated members is working ceaselessly to turn such a colossal dream into reality. We are confident that this portal will help bring change in people across the world.
