SUMMARY:Astronomy Talk - Modern Astronomy on Maunakea: A 60-Year Story: 1960-2020
DESCRIPTION:Astronomy Talk - Astronomy on Maunakea originated in community efforts to revive the Hawai`i Island economy following the 1960 tsunami that devastated Hilo. It quickly acquired governmental support\, especially from Governor John Burns. The University of Hawai`i took a leading role\, commissioning the UH 2.2-meter Telescope in 1970. During the 1970s the endeavor became international with the arrival of CFHT and UKIRT. Submillimeter radio astronomy arrived in the 1980s (CSO and JCMT). The four 8-10 meter telescopes (Keck I & Keck II\, Subaru\, Gemini) were all commissioned during the 1990s followed by SMA\, completing the current state of development. The talk will offer a personal perspective on this remarkable story and will conclude with some thoughts about the future.\n\n \nWednesday\, September 2\, 2020\n\n5:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time\n\nFree and Open to the Public\n\nKeck Observatory Astronomy Talks are supported by the\n\nRob and Terry Ryan Foundation \n\nhttps://bit.ly/Keck-McLaren
