        "abstract": "Following great success in the creation of the Keck Observatory, scientists at the California Institute of\nTechnology and the University of California have begun to explore the scientific and technical prospects\nfor a much larger telescope. The Keck telescopes will remain the largest telescopes in the world for a\nnumber of years, with many decades of forefront research ahead after that. Though these telescopes\nhave produced dramatic discoveries, it is already clear that even larger telescopes must be built if we\nare to address some of the most profound questions about our universe. The time required to build a\nlarger telescope is approximately ten years, and the California community is presently well-positioned\nto begin its design and construction. The same scientists who conceived, led the design, and guided\nthe construction of the Keck Observatory have been intensely engaged in a study of the prospects for\nan extremely large telescope. Building on our experience with the Keck Observatory, we have concluded\nthat the large telescope is feasible and is within the bounds set by present-day technology. Our reference\ntelescope has a diameter of 30 meters, the largest size we believe can be built with acceptable risk. The\nproject is currently designated the California Extremely Large Telescope (CELT).",
