Dr. Rebecca Bernstein is the Chief Scientist for the Giant Magellan Telescope project, a next-generation ground-based optical-infrared observatory currently under construction in the Atacama Desert of Chile. The Giant Magellan Telescope is being designed and built to answer questions such as “how do black holes form?” and “is there life beyond our solar system?”, and to make discoveries we can’t yet imagine. In this talk, Dr. Bernstein will introduce us to the status of this remarkable new telescope.
