If this new 8m diameter telescope already provides us with so many new discoveries then I can't wait until the ELT with 39m diameter goes online. | ||||||||

ELT will not discover many new objects, it's built to do deeper followup observations of known targets. On the other hand, Vera Rubin was designed to be a survey telescope, repeatedly imaging the entire night sky to discover new objects. It will not do targeted observations, or at least very few. | ||||||||
