- The University’s 24-inch telescope, funded by the Air Force, was built in 1968, two years after a smaller, temporary site survey telescope had been placed on Puʻu Poliahu. The AF 24-inch was removed to make room for a new, larger telescope for the exclusive use of UH Hilo astronomy faculty and students.
