Will astronomers use the E-ELT to study Solar System bodies, like Mars, Neptune, Pluto or Kuiper-Belt Objects?
As the E-ELT will have a much larger sensitivity and resolution than the current generation of large telescopes, it will certainly be most useful in the study of faint objects in the Solar System. The VLT has already made many discoveries concerning Neptune, Pluto and Kuiper-Belt Objects, and there is no doubt that the E-ELT will play a very important role there as well.
