To mark the start of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (which celebrates 400 years since Galileo first looked through his telescope) the journal Nature has published an article about the next generation of large research telescopes, entitled "New eyes, new skies".
The article focuses on 4 internationally funded, public observatories: James Webb Space Telescope, Large Synoptic Survery Telescope, European Extra Large Telescope and the Square Kilometer Array.
The article also profiles other important telescopes and observatories, including LCOGT.
