Description: "The science case for 50m-100m diameter telescopes is spectacular. All aspects of astronomy, from studies of our own Solar System to the furthest observable objects at the edge of the visible Universe, will be dramatically advanced by the enormous improvements attainable in collecting area and angular resolution. Major new classes of astronomical objects will become accessible to observation for the first time."
