This is a scale model of the Giant Magellan Telescope whose mirrors are fabricated at the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona. The Giant Magellan Telescope will be one member of the next generation of giant ground-based telescopes that promises to revolutionize our view and understanding of the universe. It will be constructed in the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Commissioning of the telescope is scheduled to begin in 2029.The GMT has a unique design that offers several advantages. It is a segmented mirror telescope that employs seven of todayÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s largest stiff monolith mirrors as segments. Six off-axis 8.4 meter or 27-foot segments surround a central on-axis segment, forming a single optical surface 24.5 meters, or 80 feet, in diameter with a total collecting area of 368 square meters. The GMT will have a resolving power 10 times greater than the Hubble Space Telescope. The GMT project is the work of a distinguished international consortium of leading universities and science institutions.
