Mauna Kea Observatory Jordan Matayoshi Shae Otsuka

It’s a 4,200 meter high summit of Mauna Kea Hawaii houses the world's largest observatory

Research used for optical, infrared, and submillimeter astronomy.

There are 13 working telescopes at the summit

Nine of them are for optical and infrared three of them are for submillimeter wavelength one is for radio astronomy
