The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is a collaborative effort between universities and research organizations to develop and build a state-of-the-art next-generation extremely large telescope.

The Giant Magellan Telescope will open new avenues of scientific exploration, including:

• Understanding the origin and evolution of planetary systems,
• Witnessing the formation of stars, galaxies and black holes,
• Exploring the properties of dark matter and dark energy in the cosmos.
