Europe to build world's biggest telescope powerful enough to see mountains on planets beyond our solar system

Europe votes to build world's biggest telescope to explore distant rocky planets (but we will build it in Chile where it's darker) | Mail Online: "A coalition of 15 European countries has announced plans to build the biggest telescope in the world.

The mirror inside the telescope will measure 39metres across - four times wider than today's biggest telescope - and it will be so powerful that astronomers will even be able to observe dark, rocky planets far beyond our solar system."
