A current (as of February, 2005) rendering of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), referencing the design chosen in the fall of 2004. The TMT project is a public-private partnership that fulfills the goals of a concept called the Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope (GSMT), which was identified in the National Academy of Sciences report “Astronomy and Astrophysics in the New Millennium” as the highest-priority new ground-based facility for the first decade of the 21st century.
