The largest telescope in the world - GTC

The Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC), is a 10.4m telescope with a segmented primary mirror and a high performance. It is located in one of the top astronomical sites in the Northern Hemisphere: the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM, La Palma, Canary Islands). With a size of over 10 metres in diameter, is the largest segmented mirror built so far for a telescope of its kind. Building a mirror that big, meant dividing it up into 36 hexagonal segments. At last the Universe has a mirror big enough to look at itself in.

Revolution in transport is here, this company is trying to change the way we travel. Now almost anyone can buy his own plane and fly it with nothing else but drivers licence, so if you can drive a car then you can fly this plane and the best of all it is affordable.
