- Summary:
- The University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy has submitted a draft Environmental Assessment for the installation of four to six 1.8 meter telescopes to flank two existing ten-meter telescopes at the Keck Observatory. The additional telescopes, called outriggers, will combine with the existing larger telescopes to produce very high resolution synthesized images. The additional telescopes should be “barely perceptible” alongside the larger ones, which are currently visible from the Hamakua Coast Highway, Waimea, and portions of North Kona and Mauna Loa.
