Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT)
Scheduled for completion around 2016, the GMT will produce images up to 10 times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope. Advanced instrumentation will detect Earth-like planets around nearby stars and newly-formed galaxies at the edge of the observable Universe.

Murchison Wide-Field Array (MWA)
A proposed H I imaging array for high redshift 21 cm observations, the MWA will examine the structure of the early universe shortly after the formation of the first stars. All-sky observations with MWA may tell us how galaxies and other large structures form.

Pan-STARRS and LSST
Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) is an innovative design for a wide-field imaging facility being developed at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a proposed ground-based 8.4-meter, 10 square-degree-field telescope that will provide digital imaging of faint astronomical objects across the entire sky, night after night.
