Summary:
University of California Berkeley astronomers proposed to build a 10-m (made of 36 hexagonal segments) optical telescope on Mauna Kea. It is to replace the Lick Observatory, built 100 years ago, outside of San Jose, California as the site quality has deteriorated by the residential development in the area.
