The Giant Magellan Telescope
The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian is looking for life. The ongoing science mission most crucial to this is the Giant Magellan Telescope, a marvel of next-generation engineering and observational technology.

The Giant Magellan Telescope
The GMT’s seven enormous, 28-foot mirrors will combine to form a gigantic telescope of unprecedented power. The GMT and its instruments are designed to search for signs of life of exoplanets and investigate the “dark” portion of the Universe with a level of refinement unseen in human history -- join us in this mission
