Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT)
Astronomical observatories Mauna Kea controversy
- Summary:
- Science and Hawaiian culture should not be opposite to each other. "Calls to dismantle all telescopes on Mauna Kea or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy and Hawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are, where we come from and where we are going." ... "Holding the TMT or other telescopes hostage will not remedy past injustices suffered by the Hawaiian people."
