- breput 1y agoThere are a number of telescopes on Mauna Loa which have not been removed, just this sensor.
- perihelions 1y agoI don't want to touch that flame hazard with a thirty-meter pole, but, just to clarify context: - The entirety of the Mauna Loa observatory, which is operated by NOAA (weather guys), is being shut down; - The vastly larger Mauna Kea observatories, hosting dozens of federal and international clients, is unrelated
- RandomBacon 1y agoAh, thank you. I might have gotten the two mixed up.
- tito 1y agoSeconded. The facility on Mauna Loa is the Mauna Loa Observatory which is atmospheric sensors and a solar telescope. The famous telescopes are on Mauna Kea (source: I grew up in Hawaii and worked for one of the telescopes, CFHT)
- floatrock 1y agoThat almost sounds like a winning strategy in this whacko-world... "but getting rid of this would be caving to the woke beliefs of the non-christian mountain-god-worshipping natives!"
