The seven mirror segments will form the heart of the Giant Magellan Telescope, designed to have a resolving power 10 times greater than that of the Hubble Space Telescope.
Scientists at ANU have produced the best estimate of Earth's elemental composition which will help them understand how the Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago.
I really enjoy being able to control an entire telescope by myself. It’s an amazing rush of power knowing that I am making such a large, expensive instrument move, and that in doing so, I am helping push science forward!
