Thanks to a pre-recorded video, we will hear the voices of faculty protagonists and researchers from the Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at Harvard and from astronomers in Chile explaining why this super-giant earth bases telescope promises to revolutionize our view and understanding of the universe.
