Maunakea Skies Talk with UKIRT Observatory

Join us for ‘Imiloa's Maunakea Skies talk on Fri. Sept. 16 at 7pm with Dr. Richard Green, Director of UKIRT Observatory.
Among the observatories atop Maunakea, UKIRT Telescope utilizes a unique panoramic camera sensitive to infrared radiation which allows for an outpouring of scientific discoveries both close to Earth and far into the Universe.

“I will talk about the latest results on the most distant galaxies, how the supermassive black holes that power quasars grow with time and how UKIRT helps find Earth-like planets in the habitable zones around nearby stars,” stated Green. “Not only will UKIRT continue to observe the most distant galaxies and quasars along with stars in our Galaxy, it will also be used to characterize objects right next door – orbital space debris and asteroids coming very near the Earth.” — Dr. Richard Green
