SUMMARY:TMT Project Status and Overview
DESCRIPTION:TMT Project Status and Overview\nDr. Gelys Trancho\n\nThe Thirt
 y Meter Telescope is a new class of extremely large telescopes that will a
 llow us to see deeper into space and observe cosmic objects with unprecede
 nted sensitivity. With its 30 m prime mirror diameter, TMT will be three t
 imes as wide, with nine times more area, than the largest currently existi
 ng visible-light telescope in the world. This will provide unparalleled re
 solution with TMT images more than 12 times sharper than those from the Hu
 bble Space Telescope. When operational, TMT will provide new observational
  opportunities in essentially every field of astronomy and astrophysics.&n
 bsp; Observing in wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the mid-infr
 ared, this unique instrument will allow astronomers to address fundamental
  questions in astronomy ranging from understanding star and planet formati
 on to unraveling the history of galaxies and the development of large-scal
 e structure in the universe. This talk will present the current stage of T
 MT development.\n\n
