And just why is this telescope built using our tax money named for a senator from Hawaii? Or did Daniel K. Inouye put up a big share of the finanving?

One of my pet peeves, sorry.

Solar telescopes are something else. Kitt Peak solar observatory (1958), in Arizona, is a great example.

I did some work for NASA/University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy up there, and also for Faulkes Telescope North, a part of Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGTN).

I had a chance to bid the electrical on that project but passed for some reason...

Incredible! 10 km resolution of the sun from earth! The sun is 150 million km and this telescope can resolve 10 km at that distance. Really unbelievable.

That image looks like my retina.

Having been employed at the Kecks in a neighbor island.
I have a thought or two.
Astronomers really don’t have a clue what they are looking at, but they have papers to write, so they write.

10 kM per pixel is like looking at a sewage retention pond to discern whose shit is there and where.
Not likely.

Astronomy is a great science, but it is all history!
I’m more interested in the future, for my kids, grandkids
and extended family.

As Senator, he probably secured federal (our) money to build the thing.
