Future of Telescopes

The construction of the European Extremely Large Telescope promises to revolutionize the search for Earth-like planets, with a mirror nearly four times larger than existing telescopes. Ground-based telescopes face challenges such as cost and cultural issues, making space telescopes like Hubble and the upcoming James Webb increasingly vital. With advancements in both ground and space technologies, the field of astronomy is poised for groundbreaking discoveries in the coming years.
