The two giant Keck Telescopes sit high atop an extinct volcano (called Mauna Kea) on the "Big Island" of Hawaii. Telescopes (except for radio telescopes) do better if they are as high up as possible. ... So this new telescope would be a giant "aperture synthesis telescope." It would be known as the Keck Interferometer.
