#PPOD: Here is one of the mirrors of the Giant Magellan Telescope being readied at the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab in Tucson, AZ! Using seven of the world’s largest mirrors, the Giant Magellan Telescope will have 50 million times the light-gathering power of the human eye and will be up to 200 times more powerful than today’s best telescopes!
