CSO & other telescope domes
Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The side of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO). The domes in the background are the (from left to right): Canada-France- Hawaii Telescope, Gemini Northern Telescope, University of Hawaii 2.2-metre Telescope, United Kingdom Infrared Telescope and University of Hawaii 0. 6-metre Telescope. The 10- metre CSO telescope carries out submillimetre astronomy, mainly to study the properties of gas and dust in regions of star formation. Radiation at submillimetre wavelength is absorbed by water in the Earths atmosphere and so such telescopes must be at high altitudes. CSO is on the dormant 4200-metre-high volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive array of telescope domes at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Standing tall in the foreground is the CSO itself, a remarkable 10-meter telescope dedicated to submillimeter astronomy. Its primary focus lies in studying gas and dust properties within star-forming regions. In the background, we are treated to a stunning lineup of other prominent telescopes that grace this celestial landscape. From left to right, we have the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, Gemini Northern Telescope, University of Hawaii 2.2-metre Telescope, United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, and University of Hawaii 0.6-metre Telescope. These telescopes are strategically located atop Mauna Kea's dormant volcano at an astounding altitude of 4200 meters due to their reliance on submillimeter wavelength observations. Water molecules present in Earth's atmosphere readily absorb radiation at these wavelengths; hence high-altitude positioning is crucial for optimal data collection. This awe-inspiring image not only highlights cutting-edge technology but also symbolizes international collaboration in astrophysics research. The fusion of expertise from American institutions like Caltech and University of Hawaii with contributions from Canada and France through their respective telescopes demonstrates how scientific exploration transcends borders. Science Photo Library presents this visually striking photograph as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden among distant stars and galaxies.
