The Giant Magellan Telescope (Giant Magellan or GMT) is a 25.4-meter ground-based astronomical research telescope under construction at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert. Its design uses seven of the world’s largest mirrors to form a light collecting area of 368 square meters capable of delivering images sharp enough to read the title of a book on the Moon from Earth. Once complete, the Giant Magellan will be the largest Gregorian telescope in history capable of providing the widest field of view of the Universe in the optical to near infrared (320—25000 nm).

Considered a next-generation "extremely large telescope", the Giant Magellan is expected to have a resolving power 10 times greater than the Hubble Space Telescope and 4 times greater than the James Webb Space Telescope.

The Giant Magellan Telescope (Giant Magellan or GMT) is a 25.4-meter ground-based astronomical research telescope under construction at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert. Its design uses seven of the world’s largest mirrors and multiple modes of adaptive optics to provide the widest field of view of the Universe in the optical to near infrared (320—25000 nm). Once complete, the Giant Magellan will be the largest Gregorian telescope in history with 10 times the resolving power of the Hubble Space Telescope and 4 times the resolving power of the James Webb Space Telescope.
