For the past decade and a half, the Keck has had the largest Earth-bound telescopes, with mirrors nearly 33 feet in diameter. However, three giant land observatories, proposed for construction within the decade, are going to dwarf those: 3 The Giant Magellan Telescope. A partnership of six U.S. universities, an Australian college, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Carnegie Institution of Washington will place the telescope i...

• In Brief / Century's Longest Eclipse Wows Asians -- Over India, Clouds Part to Allow Viewing

TAREGNA, India - The longest solar eclipse of the 21st century created near-darkness soon after dawn in a swath of India stretching from the west coast to the northern plains where millions gathered in the open to watch. A thick cloud cover over India that had obscured the sun when the eclipse began at dawn parted in several cities, minutes before the total eclipse - caused when the moon covers the sun completely to cast a shadow on earth - at 6.24 a.m. ( 6:54 p.m. CDT Tuesday).
