Giant Magellan Telescope | Video Animation 

I want one! or at least be able to visit something as wicked as this!

awesome!

YES!!! I just wish it was ready in 2013 instead of 2018!!! Darn it!! Oh well, as long as it's in the process......

The ESO ELT is going to be even bigger :)

how hot would the tip of it be if it faced the sun, I wonder

What...did you watch the video....they said 2020 is the completion of this project where did you get 2018? that's not true...they haven't even finished all the mirrors in the University Arizona yet!!!! they have 2 more to go.....so NO 2018 sorry do your homework. GO look at all the video on this project its not going to be done for some time 2 years.....
