Artist's impression of TMT and its proposed site. The TMT consortium remains hopeful that it can build the giant observatory on Mauna Kea, where initial construction works had already started before local authorities revoked a licence late last year. TMT bosses are now exploring alternative sites and intending to make a final decision in early 2017 - although the site selection is likely to have an impact on enclosure design specifics.
