Why astronomy ?
• mother of all sciences• has revolutionized thinking of humans like no
other science• fundamental contributions to present science• big science at the cutting edge of technology• most popular science enormous visibility

Where do we come from?
What is the origin of life?
Is there life elsewhere?
Where are we going?

Astronomy is the vehicle...• To provide Hawaii with scientific, educational,
technological and cultural partnerships...Countries: Australia, Argentina, Brazil,
Canada, Chile, France, Japan,Taiwan, UK, Netherlands...
Agencies: NASA,NSF,AFRL,NSERC,PPARC,AURA
Universities: Berkeley, CalTech, Harvard, San Diego, UCLA, Texas...

Astronomy is the vehicle...• to attract hightech business in electronics,
optics, precision mechanics, information technology and, thus,
• to diversify the Hawaii economy• at the moment: - 600 quality jobs
- economic impact $150 million/yr• to stimulate public interest in high level science• to motivate a younger generation for education
in science, engineering and technology

Pan-STARRS
The Pan-STARRS solution– Site in Hawaii
Excellent image quality– Combine data from several telescopes
Low cost, rapid construction, lower risk compared to monolithic large telescope Technical advantages for data collection & processingVery wide field of view of ~40 times area of the full moon
– Billion pixel CCD camerasNeeded to cover the areaRapid read-out
– Massively parallel data processing & archiving systems (Petabytes of data)
Scan the sky rapidly, and with sensitivity to detect faint objects– Detect asteroids, comets multiple times and determine orbits– See if any will collide in next century or so– Can’t be done with existing telescopes
Can detect faint objects, but can’t cover sky area rapidly

• Solar System (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter…)– Our Sun is one star of a 100
billion in the Milky Way Galaxy
• Our Solar System is located In the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy
• The Milky Way Galaxy is in the suburbs of the Virgo Supercluster of Galaxies
• The Virgo Supercluster is one of about a million superclusters that extend as far as we can see…
• So, how did we get here?

Proposed PS4 Site
Retaining walls to minimize required grading;Plan to use natural stone veneers and possibly place natural materials on outside of walland possibly base of support building
Paved walkway with color-treated concrete and perhaps using ash filler (a “Green” material)
Colored to match sky so will be virtually invisible when looking from below
