    The Very Large Telescope is in fact four telescopes, which are located on Cerro Paranal, a mountain in Chile. Each telescope is equipped with an 8.2m mirror; working together they are equivalent to a 16.4m instrument.

    We all are aware of the fact that billions of years ago, there was very little oxygen on Earth to breathe. Scientist of University of California at Riverside (UCR) have researched when in Earth's history oxygen may have abundant. Curious to know how origins of Earth survived?

  • TMT will also cost between 1 and 2 billion dollars when all is said and done. This is not quite at the scale of the world’s biggest science projects, like the Large Hadron Collider or the James Webb Space Telescope, but it’s getting there. In fact, TMT and other proposed observatories of this generation may end up being the biggest telescopes on Earth for all time because the funding required to go even larger would more logically be directed towards putting telescopes in orbit.
  • Adaptive optics is a big part of TMT’s design. It will work both on Mauna Kea and Armazones, but astronomers expect it will work better on Mauna Kea. This is because the upper atmosphere—the part above the boundary layer—is somewhat less turbulent above Mauna Kea than it is above Armazones. Why? According to Racine it’s partly a function of latitude. Because Mauna Kea is nearer the equator it’s relatively unaffected by the jet streams that flow at higher latitutdes both north and south. Armazones’ upper atmosphere is a bit more turbulent in comparison and so somewhat harder for adaptive optics to deal with.

    Why and how did the Thirty Meter Telescope project decide to build at Mauna Kea?
