Summary
In this episode, we explore the future of ground-based astronomy. While space telescopes escape the blur of our atmosphere, a new class of "Extremely Large Telescopes" (ELTs) is using massive scale and "shape-shifting" mirrors to rival the clarity of any space-based observatory. From the high deserts of Chile to the remote outback of Australia, we are building the "eyes" that will finally answer whether we are alone in the cosmos. As these structures near completion later this decade, the "unseeable" is about to become common knowledge.
