Our final mirror has officially reached high fire (when the glass heats to 2129 degrees Fahrenheit – the temperature of flowing lava) at the @uarizona Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab. https://t.co/4i6PJ2Zzja

Celebrating the intersection of art and astronomy in Chile, scientists from the Giant Magellan Telescope and artist @jeffkoons hosted a unique dining experience at @galeriapready this month. We were pleased to have @USAmbCL Bernadette Meehan attend the event.

Earlier this month, scientists from the Giant Magellan and artist @jeffkoons led an excursion to Chile’s Atacama Desert for a look at the telescope construction site. The group enjoyed views of the Chilean Andes and a tour of the @LCOAstro telescopes. #ThrowbackThursdays

🔭Estamos en @ElMercurio_cl "Telescopio Magallanes Gigante, en el norte del país, busca acelerar construcción, tras nueva inversión de US$ 205 millones".

[Jennifer Eccles @jennyleccles]

Great experience speaking to @InsidePhilanthr about big science and philanthropic support of next generation telescopes.

[Inside Philanthropy @InsidePhilanthr]

While government funding is crucial for many of the telescopes used in astronomy, philanthropy has been involved for decades and is pitching in for the next generation of even more powerful telescopes. Paul Karon reports: https://t.co/M8uiLZDboB

At 4x more powerful, the US Extremely Large Telescope Program will study the physics and chemistry of the faintest light sources in space that @NASAWebb will identify with higher resolution. https://t.co/Tgt7cxA63S

[Giant Magellan Telescope @giantmagellan]

The Giant Magellan Telescope has secured a $205 million investment from its international consortium to accelerate construction. Marking one of the largest investments in project history, this is how it will be used: https://t.co/Tgt7cxhWPK
