The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) project is in the making, with its final design phase underway as the team behind the project seek further funding to make the dream of the 25.4-meter (83 feet) multi-mirror telescope a reality.

The GMT is one of three telescopes roughly in the thirty-meter (~98 feet) class that should come online in the 2030s.
