Wired.com : Astronomer Roger Angel at the University of Arizona, is proposing an enormous 100-meter liquid-mirror telescope on the moon that could be hundreds of times more sensitive than the Hubble Space Telescope. “At first, it sort of sounds like a crazy idea,” says Paul Hickson of the University of British Columbia, one of two Canadian telescope experts who collaborated with Angel with the proposal. “But when you go through it in some detail, you realize it could actually work.”
