The following is a list of the largest optical reflecting telescopes sorted by mirror diameter. Note that two of the first three are not yet operational. This list does not currently include telescopes that are still in the conceptual/proposed stage, such as the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope or the European Extremely Large Telescope; the design stage, such as the Thirty Meter Telescope; or ones still in the early stages of manufacturing such as the Giant Magellan Telescope.
BASIC LIBRARY LIST
OUR GOALS:
The Basic Library List contains a list of books in the mathematical sciences recommended for college, high school, and public libraries. It is designed to provide students with introductory sources that might not be part of their curriculum; to provide reading material that is collateral to regular courses; to provide faculty with reference material that is relevant to their teaching; and to provide appropriate references for students in disciplines that use the mathematical sciences.
Originally issued in print form in 1965, 1976, and 1992, the Basic Library List is now being revised and updated by the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM). The version currently on-line is the 1992 edition, supplemented by full text search capabilities. Updates will be made regularly in the future.
