The Thirty Meter Telescope is a new class of extremely large telescopes that will allow us to see deeper into space and observe cosmic objects with unprecedented sensitivity.
TMT will be a unique tool for probing many outstanding open questions in astronomy.
The Thirty Meter Telescope is being designed and developed by the TMT International Observatory LLC (TIO).
