ESOcast 145 Light: First ELT Main Mirror Segments Successfully Cast (4K UHD)
The first hexagonal segments for the main mirror of ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) have been successfully cast by the German company SCHOTT at their facility in Mainz. These segments will form parts of the ELT’s 39-metre main mirror, which will have 798 segments in total when completed.
This ESOcast shows the casting of the segments and explains how they form part of the ELT.
The video is available in 4K UHD.
