UH Hilo Astronomy majors will receive more hands-on telescope time than ever before, thanks to a recent agreement with Maunakea observatories. These fortunate students have a unique opportunity afforded to few other programs in the country, namely the opportunity to study the universe in the world's largest observatories for optical, infrared and submillimeter astronomy, located on the 13,000-foot high summit of Maunakea. Join us to for an update on these and other developments in UH Hilo's Astronomy Program, at 'Imiloa's Maunakea Skies talk on August 19 at 7:00 pm presented by Dr. Marianne Takamiya, Associate Professor of Astronomy and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UH Hilo.

Cost is $8 for Kupuna, Individual, Dual, and Family members; $6 for Patron Members; Free for Silver, Gold, and Corporate Members. Non-member rate is $10. Pre-purchase tickets at the 'Imiloa front desk or by phone at 932-8901.
