LMT (Large Millimeter Telescope)

The Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) is a powerful astronomical observatory located in Mexico, designed to study the universe using radio waves at millimeter wavelengths. It has a huge, adjustable dish that collects faint signals from distant objects like galaxies and stars, helping scientists understand their composition, formation, and evolution. Operating at wavelengths longer than visible light, the LMT reveals cosmic details hidden from optical telescopes, offering insights into phenomena such as star birth, black holes, and the early universe. Its large size and advanced technology make it one of the world's leading tools for exploring the cold, dusty regions of space.
