Over at the NVIDIA blog, Jamie Beckett writes that the new European-Extremely Large Telescope, or E-ELT, will capture images 15 times sharper than the dazzling shots the Hubble telescope has beamed to Earth for the past three decades. "are running GPU-powered simulations to predict how different configurations of E-ELT will affect image quality. Changes to the angle of the telescope's mirrors, different numbers of cameras and other factors could improve image quality."
