ISpain ingakhethwa ukusingatha i-TMT, isibonakude esinamandla kunazo zonke emhlabeni

Eminyakeni eminingi edlule, ngicabanga ukuthi ngiyakhumbula ukuthi kwakusekupheleni kuka-2014, lapho kudalwa ifayili le- TMT o Amashumi amathathu Amamitha Telescope, isibonakude esinamandla kunazo zonke ezake zakhiwa ekuqaleni sasibekwe phezu kweNtaba iMauna Kea. Ngeshwa, selokhu kuqale iphrojekthi, labo ababhekene nayo bahlangabezane nezinkinga eziningi, kubandakanya nokuthi le ntaba ibhekwa njengengcwele kubantu baseHawaii.

Kuleli qophelo, ngikutshele ukuthi iphrojekthi ingaqala ngenxa yokuthi iHhovisi loMnyango Wezemvelo laseHawaii linikeze imvume yokwakha kuleyo ndawo, ngemuva kokulwa okukhulu kwezomthetho kwaba yiNkantolo Ephakeme yaseHawaii ekupheleni kuka-2015 eyaphela khansela imvume yokwakha okusho ukuthi iphrojekthi bekufanele imiswe, kuze kube manje.

I-TMT ekugcineni ingatholakala esiqhingini saseLa Palma eCanary Islands.

Ngemuva kokukhanselwa kwezimvume zokwakha nangenxa yokuthi ukuganana kwe-International Observatory TMT akukwazanga ukufinyelela esivumelwaneni nabakhileyo endaweni, iphrojekthi ibisalokhu ivinjiwe kusukela ngonyaka we-2014. Njengomniningwane, ake ngikutshele ukuthi ukukhuluma nge utshalomali lwamadola ayizigidi eziyi-1.400 engafinyelela esiqhingini saseLa Palma eCanary Islands.

Ngokuningiliziwe, akutshele ukuthi yize iCanary Islands ithathwa njengendawo yesibili engcono kakhulu emhlabeni ukusingatha isibonakude salezi zici, ngemuva nje kweMauna Kea, iqiniso ukuthi iphrojekthi kumele nayo ibhekane nezinkinga eziningana ezifana kungaba yi Ukulahleka kokuphakama kwamamitha ayi-2.000 okuthi, njengoba sekumenyezelwe kakade, kuthinte ikakhulukazi ukuxazululwa kobubanzi nobubanzi bamaza we-infrared adingekayo ukubuka izikhungo ze-galactic. Ngenxa yalezi zinkinga, labo ababhekele i-TMT abakakaqinisekisi indawo yabo entsha ngo-100% ngoba kumele baqale kuqala bala kabusha izinzuzo nezindleko ukuthi lolu shintsho luyobandakanya.
