The Thirty Meter Telescope: How a volcano in Hawaii became a battleground for astronomy
From Space.com:
"For the kia'i, the 160-foot-tall TMT (49 meters) would be one telescope too many at a site they see as stolen, sacred, delicate and consistently mismanaged. "It's too big, too massive, and it's in the wrong place," E. Kalani Flores, a professor of Hawaiian studies at Hawaii Community College and one of the lead plaintiffs in court cases surrounding the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope, told Space.com."

Interesting read. I've never heard the entire story all together before this.
