TMT Prototype
About the TMT Project
TMT (Thirty Meter Telescope) is a next-generation extremely large telescope project planned for construction at the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. With a primary mirror diameter of 30 meters, it will be one of the world's largest optical and infrared telescopes, promoted through international cooperation among five countries: Japan, the United States, Canada, China, and India.
The project aims to advance cutting-edge astronomical research, including elucidating the origins and evolution of the universe, exploring extrasolar planets, and observing black holes. TMT will have significantly higher light-gathering power and resolution compared to currently operating telescopes, enabling observation of first-generation stars and galaxies from shortly after the birth of the universe.
In Japan, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan leads the project, playing an important role in the production technology of segmented primary mirrors and the development of observation instruments.
About This Model
Prototype TMT (paper, color) is a trial model for understanding the structure of the TMT telescope. This color-printed paper model was created to verify the telescope's shape and proportions.
