This
episode of the ESOcast relates how ESO - based on experience gathered
over the past fifty years as the most powerful observatory in history -
is going to satisfy the eternal longing of astronomers: the construction
of even bigger telescopes.

The first of ESO's next generation
telescopes is almost finished on the Chajnantor Plateau. The Atacama
Large Millimeter/submillimeter array (ALMA), a joint project of Europe,
North America and Asia, will be composed of 66 high-precision antennas
when it becomes fully operational in 2013.

Acting together as a
giant telescope, ALMA will reveal the finest details of the cool
Universe, spotting the birth of the first galaxies and peeking inside
the dusty clouds of molecular gas - stellar nurseries where new stars
and planets are born.

While ALMA is nearly completed and already
producing outstanding results, ESO's crowning jewel is still a few years
away. The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) will be the
world's biggest eye on the sky. Sporting a 39-metre main mirror, the
E-ELT will dwarf every telescope that preceded it.

The E-ELT will
be a powerful tool to help to find life elsewhere in the Universe, by
looking for biosignatures on the atmospheres of Earth-like planets
orbiting distant stars. The E-ELT will also be able to capture light
from very faint and distant objects, revealing much about the early
history of the Universe, when stars first began to shine.
