PIX4652988: Milky Way above Cerro Armazones - Star sky at the top of Cerro Armazones. This 3060-metre mountain in Chile will host the giant telescope E - ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope). The construction of this 42-metre telescope is expected to start at the end of 2010 and will be inaugurated around 2018. Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field. On 26 April 2010, the ESO Council selected Cerro Armazones as the baseline site for the planned 42 - metre European Extremely Large Telescope (E - ELT). Cerro Armazones is a mountain at an altitude of 3060 metres in the central part of Child's Atacama Desert, some 130 kilometres south of the town of Antofagasta and about 20 kilometres from Cerro Paranal, home of Eso's Very Large Telescope / Bridgeman Images
PIX4653068: 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 distort its own shape a thousand times per second, and one 2.7 m in diameter that allows for the final image corrections. This five mirror approach results in an exceptional image quality, with no significant aberrations in the field of view / Bridgeman Images

JSN4653318: The church of Notre Dame de Tout Grace at the Plateau d'Assy in Passy (Haute Savoie). Architect Maurice Novarina (1907-2002), 1946. Decor Fernand Leger (1881-1955). The village, located at 1200 meters above sea level, was the village of sanatoriums. In 1935, Canon Devemy, Chaplain of the Sanatarium of Sancellemoz, had the idea of building the church of the sick on the Plateau d'Assy. The entrance facade recalls the famous and robust Savoyard chalets of the Vallee d'Abondance built with the stone of the country. Photography 1989., Leger, Fernand (1881-1955) / Bridgeman Images
