Asia’s largest 4 meter International Liquid

Solution

The ILMT employs a 4-meter-diameter rotating mirror made up of a thin layer of liquid mercury, to collect and focus light.The ILMT is designed to survey the strip of the sky passing overhead each night, allowing it to detect transient or variable celestial objects such as supernovae, gravitational lenses, space debris, and asteroids. While scanning the strip of the sky every night, the telescope will generate nearly 10-15 Gigabytes of data.
