Why do our twin telescopes beam lasers into the sky? To sharpen astronomical images. These lasers create ‘artificial stars’ as part of an innovative technique called adaptive optics, which corrects the blurring caused by Earth’s atmospheric turbulence. Fun fact: AO’s resolution is so fine, you can distinguish between individual headlights on a car in San Francisco from Hawaiʻi!

W. M. Keck Observatory's 30th Science Anniversary 💫 On our final #thankfulthursday reflection of our anniversary year, we are grateful for the beauty of community, as demonstrated by the many hands and hearts that worked together to illuminate the 63rd Annual Waimea Twilight Christmas Parade. Our staff, along with Canada France Hawai'i Telescope, had the privilege of ‘imagineering’ Santa’s float. It included a canoe in honor of the parade theme “E Lauhoe Mai Na Wa’a” - Everyone Paddle the Canoe
