Giant Magellan Telescope

August 25, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

$5

The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is the largest telescope of its kind, using seven of the world’s biggest mirrors to look deeper into space than ever before. While it will sit on a mountain peak in Chile’s Atacama Desert, it is being manufactured in part at Rockford’s very own Ingersoll Machine Tools! Learn all about this incredible feat from GMT Project Manager William Burgett in an awe-inspiring lecture at Severson Dells. Free for members, $5/non-members. https://seversondells.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/seversondells/event.jsp?event=8025
