<br/><br/> "For 45 years, the 5-meter (200-inch) Hale Telescope was the mighty king of all ground-based optical telescopes....But late last century, a new generation of Glass Giants began to take root on high and dry mountain peaks. There they scour the sky like visual time machines, opening portals to distant worlds and forgotten eras." (ASTRONOMY) This article discusses new astronomical telescopes that are much larger than the Hale Telescope on Palomar Mountain and enable scientists to see much deeper into space.
