Hmmm, I've become increasingly wary of videos like this that sound like the text was written by AI, voiced synthetically, and fully of fast moving graphics.

Definitely very important the power of observation to create another natural resource for future generations;future flights to understand how the universe behave 😮. Thanks for the information ❤
The distances and past we see with incredible telescopes is great, but we look right over the details, the possible countless civilizations that we look past, it's actually a kind of analogy of the human condition, always looking for something out there, but we tend to miss what's in front of us, at least I do, and did.
Another earthbound observatory is great but haven't we determined space based telescopes like the JWST provide the best platforms for gathering astronomical information? $2 B is a lot of money that could be better spent .
You mention the cost, and that is why this telescope is important. The JWST cost 5 times the ELT and took many more years to construct. Whereas the ELT is Earthbound but can collect over 36 times the amount of light that the JWST can. It will be much easier to construct as it doesn’t have to go to space, easier to maintain, and will last a lot longer. Both telescopes are amazing but they have different tasks to perform. So for a fifth the cost we will have an instrument with 36 times the speed and will be ideally suited to exo-planet searches. Whereas space offers the ideal platform for far-infra-red observation. I understand your question - it seems like space is the perfect place for observation. But advances in active optics make that distinction almost irrelevant. Each has its own advantages, and the programs of observation that are executed reflect their individual advantages. So both have a place in our tools to understand the universe. I hope that explains the situation in a slightly more nuanced way than simply one is better that the other. The universe is complex and science does the best it can to unravel that complexity - it’s not a simple straight line to get all the answers.
I’m just as curious as the next guy about distant planets and origins of the universe but I can’t help to think there is another purpose for expensive scopes like these.
@@Cello69. I’m sure you’ll find some conspiracy theorist out there who can fuel your fire. I’m happy to believe that there are other people out there who are willing to find funding for these amazing machines just out of curiosity. I, for one can’t wait to see the results of this and other amazing projects due to come on line in the next couple of years.
Build the Thirty Meter Telescope some place other than the peak sacred to the native Hawaiians. We have stolen too much from them already. Or, if it is built, give Kawaii back to the Hawaiians.
They can build telescopes all they want but we don't have the tech to communicate with aliens or contact them in another galaxy. So what's the point of this build. The money needs to be put to space travel tech and advance our tech that way. Then we can visit other planets. Dreams completed
Good to see this in the Atacama, a great location. As a Hawai'i Islander, I can assure you that the 30 Meter will NEVER be built on Mauna Kea. Enough already.... the Keck, Gemini, Subaru and 10 others already exist (with 4 of those set for removal) and scar this sacred site. Put them in orbit or the Atacama, not here!
I visited the peak of Mauna Kea many years ago. There were already a number of telescopes there. I would hope that the Keck could remain, but sympathize with removing the others and blocking the construction of new ones.
