Abstract

The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) is in its detailed design phase. With an unprecedentedly large primary aperture and correction for ground-layer atmospheric turbulence, the telescope will offer a tremendous leap forward in our ground-based capabilities. An RAS Discussion Meeting provided updates on the telescope design, its science case and UK involvement in instrument studies. © 2008 Royal Astronomical Society.
