Thirty Meter Telescope Update
There is an article being shared and apparently going viral regarding India and China joining the Thirty Meter Telescope project. Published by The Daily Mail, the article's headlines claim that China and India are *Creating* the world's largest telescope. This is absolute rubbish and needs to be qualified! They are not creating the TMT at all; they are joining as observers and are contributing over $1 billion towards construction costs. The principal architects are the AURA (Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy), the California Institute of Technology, the University of California System and the Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy!
