Explore our Sacred Mountain Maunakea and the stars above!" Call 808-969-9700 or visit online: http://www.imiloahawaii.org Univeristy of Hawaii Institute For Astronomy The Institute for Astronomy is one of the world's leading astronomical research centers. Its broad-based program includes studies of the Sun, planets, and stars, as well as interstellar matter, galaxies, and cosmology. Most IfA astronomers use the giant telescopes atop Mauna Kea and Haleakala to collect faint visible light, and infrared and submillimeter radiation from distant objects. They also use and support space observatories, such as the Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra (an X-ray astronomy satellite), to make observations that cannot be made from the ground. http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/ Mauna Kea Observatories The 4,200 meter high summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii houses the world's largest observatory for optical, infrared, and submillimeter astronomy. Interactive web site shows names of telescopes. http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/mko/maunakea.htm

Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) is a non-profit organization that operates a world class 3.6 meter telescope atop Mauna Kea, a dormant Hawaiian volcano rising 4,200 meters above the Pacific ocean. The Observatory headquarters are located in Waimea (Kamuela), where CFHT has been part of the community since 1977. http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/ Joint Astronomy Centre The Joint Astronomy Centre provides services and support to enable visiting and staff astronomers to undertake top-quality, front-line international-class research using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope; to develop these facilities in order to maintain their position as the most advanced of their kind in the world; to operate them in the most cost effective and efficient manner on behalf of the funding agencies; and to be responsive to the changing needs of the contributing organisations. http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/JACpublic/index.html Visiting Mauna Kea Observatories Information on visiting Mauna Kea Observatory.
