Target entity: Multiple Mirror Telescope
Context triple: [MMT Observatory, namedAfter, Multiple Mirror Telescope]
  • A. Cassegrain telescope
    A Cassegrain telescope is a reflecting telescope design that uses a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror to fold the optical path and produce a compact instrument with a long effective focal length.
  • B. Schmidt telescope
    A Schmidt telescope is a wide-field reflecting telescope design that uses a spherical primary mirror and a correcting lens to capture sharp images over a large area of the sky.
  • C. Magellan Telescopes
    Magellan Telescopes are a pair of 6.5-meter optical-infrared telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, used for cutting-edge astronomical research by an international collaboration.
  • D. 20 Meter Telescope
    The 20 Meter Telescope is a mid-sized radio telescope at the Green Bank Observatory used for astronomical research and education in radio astronomy.
  • E. Maksutov telescope
    A Maksutov telescope is a compact catadioptric reflecting telescope that uses a meniscus corrector lens to deliver sharp, well-corrected images with relatively simple alignment and maintenance.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
