Topic: Giant Magellan Telescope

A fundraiser for the Giant Magellan Telescope in Chile denied making previous claims about seeing a dime left on the moon by Neil Armstrong. The social event also highlighted a sense of defeatism among liberal voters regarding the 2016 presidential election.

The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), set for completion in Chile in 2021, is described as being ten times more powerful than the Hubble. A claim is made regarding a dime allegedly left on the moon by Neil Armstrong, which the telescope could theoretically focus on, though the story is met with skepticism.
