Against this background, Spain proposed to take the project and create a telescope on the island of La Palma (Canar Islands).
Spanish Science Minister Diana Morant said the country is ready to invest up to 400 million euros and become the “home of future astronomy”.
TMT is one of the three largest terrestrial telescope in development. The mirror will be about 30 meters in diameter. He will give astronomers the opportunity to examine the universe with incredible details.
However, the place in Spain is higher than the Hawai people and lower in observation quality due to the further density of the atmosphere. However, if the US budget is accepted, the transfer of the project to Europe may be the only way to save it.
The fate of the telescope now depends on the decision of the US Congress.
