The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is an observatory currently under construction by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) agency. It is located on top of a mountain in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, and is planned to be the world’s largest optical telescope when completed. The design consists of a reflecting telescope with a diameter of 39.3 metres. Calculate how many times larger the light gathering power of the ELT is compared to that of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which has a diameter of 2.4 metres?

Sometime around 2022, astronomers at the European Southern Observatory hope to begin using the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), which is planned to have a primary mirror 42 m in diameter. Let us assume that the light it focuses has a wavelength of 520 nm. (1 light-year =9.461x 1015 m) Note: Jupiter's Diameter di 1.43 x 108 m 1) What is the most distant Jupiter-sized planet the telescope could resolve, assuming it operates at the diffraction limit?
