In the moonscape of lava cones atop Hawaiis Mauna Kea volcano, the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, and France have raised a cluster of observatories. Nearly three miles in altitude, they stand above almost half the earths atmosphere and 90 percent of its water vapor, excellent for ground-based infrared telescopes. The island location is free from atmospheric turbulence induced by landmasses, as well as light pollution from cities. Logistic support can be shared. A real problem for astronomers, however, is that too few such telescopes are available for the research that needs to be done. |
Viking false-color image of Mars Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano in our solar system. Although similar in origin to Mauna Kea, it is approximately three times higher (27 kilometers from bottom to summit). Its crater can swallow the entire state of Rhode Island. The red color signifies older, smoother lava. The unpitted flows suggest that the volcano is still active. |
