RE: TMT: Deja vu all over again - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 05-18-2024
Good video about the history of TMT funding, its current status, from someone (Dr. John Mulchaey, Director of the Carnegie Observatories) who has more knowledge about ground based telescopes than a guy wearing a pair of sunglasses while walking around with a camera.
Enter the Carnegie Observatories and their partners on the Thirty Meter Telescope and the Giant Magellan Telescope. Both are currently under construction, and both are threatened by budget parsimony from the U.S. Congress. Dr. John Mulchaey, Director of the Carnegie Observatories, joins us to discuss what's happening, why it matters, and what you can do to help maintain U.S. leadership in astronomy, cosmology, and other STEM-related fields.
