As the debate over the Thirty Meter Telescope project rolls on, many University of Hawaii's Astronomers still dream of the possibilities of their research if the project were to be completed.
The potential of TMT is described as the pinnacle of Astronomy, on what they refer to as the best location on earth to practice the science.
“That’s kind of the holy grail if you will of that area of Astronomy.” UH Institute for Astronomy Interim Director Dr. Robert McLaren said.
“Find another Earth around another star. And the Thirty Meter Telescope facilitates this in a way that is not possible with existing telescopes.”
