1. Heidi Jo Newberg:

   This idea brings down the size and the weight of what you have to send up into space to get the desired high resolution of a telescope like Webb, what we’re trying to do is exploit this out-of-the-box design to make it possible to find Earth-like planets.

2. Robert Massey:

   The new generation of big telescopes is pushing engineering to new limits in the pursuit of incredible scientific discoveries. Larger mirrors let us see fainter objects in more detail, which means we start to see things for the first time that we only thought existed, in the next few decades I'm confident that( even) bigger telescopes, like the European Extremely Large Telescope, will help us answer some of the big questions, telling us whether planets like our own are common in the universe, and just what the first stars to form after the Big Bang were really like.

3. Tara Murphy:

   We then tried the more sensitive MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa. Because the signal was intermittent, we observed it for 15 minutes every few weeks, hoping that we would see it again, luckily, the signal returned, but we found that the behaviour of the source was dramatically different -- the source disappeared in a single day, even though it had lasted for weeks in our previous ASKAP observations.

4. Tomoharu Oka:

   Investigations of gas motion with radio telescopes may provide a complementary way to search for dark black holes, the ongoing wide area survey observations of the Milky Way with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope and high-resolution observations of nearby galaxies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have the potential to increase the number of black hole candidates dramatically.

5. David Boboltz:

   These first images are just the beginning, over the next six months, the Inouye telescope's team of scientists, engineers and technicians will continue testing and commissioning The Inouye Solar Telescope to make The Inouye Solar Telescope ready for use by the international solar scientific community. The Inouye Solar Telescope will collect more information about our Sun during the first five years of The Inouye Solar Telescope lifetime than all the solar data gathered since Galileo first pointed a telescope at the Sun in 1612.
