US scientists have drawn up plans to build the largest telescope ever
seen.

Its 30-metre-diameter mirror would be almost 10 times as big as those in
the
Keck telescopes in Hawaii, currently the world's largest observatories.

A gentleman gave a talk on this at our club meeting last night. Quite a
project, but some folks are thinking even bigger - check out the
Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL)....
