The larger the mirror, the more light a telescope can collect, which means, in turn, that it can “see” farther, fainter objects. “Thirty Metre” refers to the the 30-metre diameter of the mirror, with 492 segments of glass pieced together, which makes it three times as wide as the world’s largest existing visible-light telescope. ![]() The telescope is being built by an international collaboration of government organisations and educational institutions, at a cost of $1.4 billion.
