The Thirty Meter Telescope is almost here, and it’s ready to take grounded space exploration to another level. With more than 2 Billion Dollars invested into its construction already, several countries have given scientific assistance and government-level financial support toward the Thirty Meter Telescope, which, when completed, will be able to observe space and detect alien life with much more accuracy than any other telescope in existence. But what is the TMT planning to explore and to what extent can it go? Let’s take a look at one of the most awaited and controversial telescopes of all time.
The Thirty Meter Telescope, also known as the TMT, is one of a new class of Extremely Large Telescopes, or ELTs, that will allow us to see deeper into space and observe cosmic objects with unprecedented sensitivity and detail. It was designed and developed by the TMT International Observatory. And speaking of design, let’s take a look at what exactly the TMT will look like and how it will function. Its 30-meter diameter prime mirror will enable observations from ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelengths with up to 80 times the sensitivity of today's largest telescopes. “Thirty Meter” in the title refers to the 30-meter diameter of the mirror, with 492 segments of glass pieced together, which makes it three times as wide as the world’s largest existing visible-light telescope. The larger the mirror, the more light a telescope can collect, which means, in turn, that it can see and capture farther, fainter objects. The Associated Press quoted Christophe Dumas, head of operations for the TMT, as saying that it would be more than 200 times more sensitive than current telescopes. State-of-the-art adaptive optics systems will help correct significant image blur caused by the blurring effects of Earth's atmosphere and will deliver images at infrared wavelengths that are more than 12 times sharper than those of the famed Hubble Space Telescope, and four times sharper than the James Webb Space Telescope.
