EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Mauna Kea telescopes, perched atop the majestic summit of the eponymous volcano in Hawaii, USA. The image offers a breathtaking view across this celestial cluster of astronomical observatories that have become icons of scientific discovery. In the foreground, we are greeted by three prominent sites: the SubMillimetre Array (SMA), James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), and CalTech Submillimetre Observatory (CSO). Their domes stand as silent sentinels against the vast expanse of sky. As our gaze traverses towards the background ridge, a grand lineup unfolds before us. From left to right on this celestial stage, we encounter an illustrious cast including Subaru Telescope, Keck 1, NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), Gemini Observatory, University of Hawaii 88-inch Telescope (UH88), United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), and University of Hawaii 24-inch Telescope – marking its pioneering presence on Mauna Kea. Each telescope represents a gateway to unraveling cosmic mysteries and expanding humanity's understanding of our universe. This photograph encapsulates their collective pursuit for knowledge amidst an ethereal backdrop. Captured by Science Photo Library with remarkable precision and clarity, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in both the natural beauty surrounding these observatories and the boundless wonders they seek beyond Earth's atmosphere. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity while honoring Mauna Kea's role as a sanctuary for scientific exploration.
