Celestial Sky Overlap of Coverage
The overlapping observing coverage of the US-ELTP provides US astronomers with unfettered all-sky access from the Giant Magellan Telescope in the southern hemisphere and the Thirty Meter Telescope in the northern hemisphere. The timezone separation between the sites would increase the system’s capabilities for time-domain astrophysics.
