Opponents march against huge telescope in Hawaii

HONOLULU, Hawaii - Hundreds of opponents of a planned telescope on Hawaii's highest peak have launched a protest march.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper reported that activists opposed to the Thirty Meter Telescope started marching on Sunday morning in Waikiki on the island of Oahu.

Last week, hundreds of protesters blocked a road on the Big Island to stop construction of the $1.4 billion telescope on Mauna Kea.
