Default News: Astronomers plan giant telescope

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3203963.stm
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.
