The E-ELT project
In December 2006, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) initiated a three-year Phase B study of a 40-m class European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). In 2010 a full construction proposal was compiled. The UK is playing a leading role in development of the science case and instrumentation for the project. ESO formally announced the site as Cerro Armazones, Chile in April 2010.
