Aerial view of observatories at Mauna Kea, Hawaii
Mauna Kea Observatories. Aerial view of astronomical observatories near the summit of Mauna Kea on Hawaii, USA. The observatories in the lower frame are (from bottom to top): Subaru; Keck I & II (twin white domes); Infrared Telescope Facility. The observatories along the ridge in the background are (from left to right): Canada- France-Hawaii Telescope; Gemini (under construction); the 88-inch (223 cm) telescope; the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. The remoteness of the Hawaiian islands from major landmasses and industry mean that the air is free of dust and pollutants, making it one of the best observatory sites in the world

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking aerial view captures the awe-inspiring Mauna Kea Observatories in Hawaii, USA. Nestled near the summit of Mauna Kea, these astronomical observatories are a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about the universe. In this photo print, we see a range of remarkable structures that house cutting-edge telescopes. In the lower frame, we can identify Subaru; twin white domes housing Keck I & II; and the Infrared Telescope Facility. Along the ridge in the background, from left to right, stand the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope; Gemini Observatory (still under construction); an 88-inch telescope; and finally, the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. What makes this location truly exceptional is its remoteness from major landmasses and industrial activity. The Hawaiian islands' isolation ensures that their air remains pristine and free from dust particles or pollutants. This unique feature has made Mauna Kea one of the world's premier observatory sites for astrophysics research. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder of humanity's tireless efforts to unravel mysteries beyond our planet's boundaries. It symbolizes our collective dedication to exploring new frontiers and expanding our understanding of existence itself.
