Aloha all!

I hope that your 2014 is off to a great start.  We have a fantastic start to our public talks this year.  Dr. Alan Tokunaga from IfA Manoa will be talking about "Telescopes: Big and Small" This Friday, January 10th at 6:30 pm.  The talk will be held at the Maui Institute for Astronomy in Pukalani.  The Maui Institute for Astronomy is located at 34 'Ohia Ku Street in Pukalani, between the upcountry Longs and Kamehameha Schools.  Please park on the street.

    Telescopes: Big and Small

    While new large telescopes garner much of the
    press coverage, mid-size telescopes (less than
    about 4 meters in diameter) continue to be
    major contributors to astronomical research.
    Dr. Alan Tokunaga, who grew up on Maui, is
    the director of the 3.0-meter NASA Infrared
    Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea that is
    operated for NASA by the University of Hawaii,
    and is dedicated to planetary science and
    mission support. He will highlight the research
    done with the IRTF and will also review the
    increase of telescope aperture over the past 400
    years, including telescopes as large as 40
    meters in diameter that are now being planned.


If you have any questions please feel free to email me: j...@ifa.hawaii.edu.
