The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT)In fact, below maps shows the TMT is further from the exact top of the summit than all of the many existing telescopes."TMT design operations are based in Pasadena, CA, but the selected telescope site is within the 36-acre “Area E” on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii as shown on the map below. Mauna Kea is a well-established site for observatories due to the high-quality seeing, dry conditions, and typical lack of cloud cover. Once constructed, the TMT complex would consist of a dome 56m in height and 66m wide, 5 acres of roads, and 1.44 acres of buildings."
"Proposed Site for TMT in Area E on the summit of Mauna Kea. For reference, the locations of existing telescopes are indicated by the numbered yellow circles. Map produced by UH and USGS."
The exact summit is Pu'u Wekiu (Pu 'uwekiu) marked as such in lower right corner of below map
