    Since the chart mentions Arecibo, which at 305m diameter (fixed in the ground) is the largest singular radio telescope: China is building a 500m competitor. Supposed to be finished next year.

      with artificial guide stars and adaptive optics, that can "fix" a lot of the problems with the atmosphere. Also being at 13,250 ft elevation, it's above 40% of the atmosphere as well.
