A conference of scientists and space experts is being held this week at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore to explore how to use the Moon as a base for astronomical observations. Some key participants are quoted in this Space.com article.
"The main purpose is to really for the first time in many years have a very diverse group of astrophysicists come together and talk about whether it makes sense to do astrophysics from the Moon now that we've got NASA committed to sending people there and putting up infrastructure there," said Laurie Leshin, Director of Sciences and Exploration at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
