The Thirty Meter Telescope, or TMT Project, will be the largest optical telescope ever built — reaching farther into space and seeing more clearly than existing telescopes by a factor of 10 to 100, according to the project. Construction is scheduled to begin on the TMT in 2011, with completion in 2018.
