Large Millimeter Telescope

The Large Millimeter Telescope is the world's largest single-aperture telescope (diameter = 50m), observing galactical wave lengths from 0.85 to 4 mm (75-350GHz). It is located at an altitude of 4850 meters on top of the Sierra Negra, Mexico and is a binational (Mexican 80% - American 20%) joint project of the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Optica y Electronica (INAOE) and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The mission of the LMT is: 1) pursuing pioneering research, 2) train the future generations of scientists and engineers and 3) develop new technology for the benefit of society. The LMT studies objects, which are thermally cold like cosmic microwave background, molecular clouds, protoplanetary discs, star forming regions, comets, planets,

It seems that coyolatl (Sierra Negra - Mexico) Seduces, let's stay! Are we still in this amazing room with a bunch of speleothem on the ground trace of an ancient earthquake?

oof :D

It is amazing!

From the top of this volcano you can see the great millimeter telescope that in its category is the largest in the world you cannot enter the facilities but from outside you can appreciate it and of course enjoy the landscapes after the great walk 😝
