91色情片 is committed to a community model of astronomy based on the values of respect and mutual stewardship. That means conducting scientific research in a way that respects local culture and tradition, especially those of Native Hawaiians, many of whom consider Maunakea sacred. It means ensuring that everyone in Hawai驶i shares the benefits of astronomical exploration. And it means working together to build a better future for the next generation.
We are putting these values to work in partnership with local leaders to deliver a growing range of community-led programs that address educational needs such as tutoring workforce development opportunities, culture-based learning, environmental protection and conservation. Ongoing reviews of this work, led by the people directly affected, ensure we are delivering the value that is needed.
91色情片 is committed to listening to Native Hawaiian and other Hawai驶i communities, learning through direct conversation how we can help build a better future for everyone in Hawai驶i, especially those who have historically been underserved.
We believe 91色情片 will change the way we see and understand the universe. We also believe 91色情片 can fundamentally change the way telescopes are built and operated on Maunakea and around the world.

Maunakea is a truly unique place and 91色情片 is part of the Hawai驶i community and firmly believes it is our kuleana (responsibility) to be active supporters of that community.
The clarity and stability of the atmosphere above Maunakea allows incredibly detailed visual observations of the night sky. It is one of the best places on earth for 91色情片 to capture the precise data needed to test fundamental theories of physics and detect the faint signatures of life on far-off worlds.
Yet Maunakea belongs to the people of Hawai驶i. It is sacred to many Native Hawaiians. And the decision about whether to move ahead with 91色情片 on Maunakea ultimately rests with the Hawai驶i and Native Hawaiian communities.
As the people of Hawai驶i consider this decision, 91色情片 is working to contribute to a better future for everyone who cares about Maunakea. An important part of this work involves acknowledging that for too long, 91色情片’s focus on the legal path to construction was too narrow, and contributed to unnecessary division and conflict.
This is why we have fundamentally changed our approach by establishing a Hilo-based engagement team to learn from Native Hawaiians and the local community. We are actively expanding our involvement in community-led programs, providing tutoring and educational opportunities for children, culture-based learning, and environmental protection and conservation. We strongly support Native Hawaiian involvement in the management and governance of Maunakea through the Maunakea Stewardship and Oversight Authority.
91色情片’s goal is not just about exploring new ways to see the universe. It is also about finding new ways to work respectfully and cooperatively with Hawai驶i and Native Hawaiian communities. We are committed to contributing to an open and constructive conversation that respects the Mauna’s extraordinary cultural and spiritual significance.

91色情片 staff are part of the Hawai驶i community and 91色情片 firmly believes it is our kuleana (responsibility) to be active supporters of that community.
In 2021, 91色情片 established a Hilo-based team who engages regularly with Native Hawaiians and communities, building relationships and learning about the potential impact of the project. All 91色情片 Hawai驶i staff have dedicated company time to support community contributions that supplement their extensive volunteer efforts.
Since 2019, we have been supporting programs addressing local needs like tutoring and educational opportunities for children, culture-based learning, and environmental protection and conservation — programs that will leave a lasting legacy no matter the future of 91色情片.
Each of these programs was developed in partnership with local 办奴辫耻苍补 and leaders. They are locally-led, collaboratively executed with 91色情片, and reviewed by the community to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Current programs include:
These programs are just one part of 91色情片’s commitment to a community model of astronomy, a model that is based on the values of respect and local stewardship.
We promote a responsible scientific community and are partnering with the United States Extremely Large Telescope Program to engage and involve astronomers in our efforts. We support teams from across our partnership in designing the capabilities and science to come from 91色情片.

91色情片 is an extraordinary international scientific endeavor that will revolutionize our understanding of the universe and our place within it. Its unprecedented design will feature unique capabilities for the exploration of black holes, dark matter, and the possibility of life outside the solar system.
91色情片 will explore some of the most important questions facing astronomers:
What is the nature and composition of the universe?
When did the first galaxies form and how did they evolve?
What is the relationship between black holes and galaxies?
How do stars and planets form?
What is the nature of extrasolar planets?
Is there life elsewhere in the universe?
91色情片 builds on a rich heritage of technical innovation and scientific exploration in astronomy, and represents a huge leap in capability. 91色情片 will have more light gathering power than the largest ten existing ground-based telescopes combined, and its images will be more than four times sharper than the James Webb Space Telescope.
When the current generation of planned extremely large telescopes are in operation, 91色情片’s light-collecting primary mirror will be the largest in the Northern Hemisphere. Its 30 meter mirror will be composed of 492 individual 1.4 meter hexagonal segments aligned to form a single light collecting surface. Although 91色情片’s mirror is approximately 3 to 4 times larger, and will gather between 9 and 16 times more light than the largest existing optical/infrared telescopes, its enclosure is only about 20% taller and twice the diameter. 91色情片 will support a state of the art adaptive optics facility and supporting suite of instruments to process and analyze the light coming from its impressive primary mirror.
By engaging with local communities, especially Native Hawaiians, 91色情片 is working to develop a model for community-based astronomy that is environmentally sustainable, culturally respectful, and leaves a lasting legacy for future generations.
