By some measures DKIST represents the biggest jump in ground-based solar telescope capability since Galileo. I will talk about DKIST, the worlds largest telescope/coronagraph, and some early results coming from its very first data. There are also serious efforts aimed at much larger high dynamic range night-time telescopes that go beyond the Keck-era of small segmented mirror optics. I'll talk about some of these much larger telescopes (even 50m aperture), what they can do, and how and when they might be built.
