Mauna
Kea still a candidate
Organizers of the 300 million 'Thirty-Meter Telescope' remain silent
on its location. The planners of the world's largest optical telescope remain
silent on where they plan to build it. Mauna Kea remains one
of the five "candidate sites," along
with a mountain in Mexico and three in Chile, for what's now
being called the "Thirty-Meter Telescope." January
