The astronomy community has a new tool for studying the sun, with the inauguration this week of the world’s largest solar telescope. The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, located in Maui, Hawai’i, has a 13-foot primary mirror enabling it to see the sun in phenomenal detail.
“NSF’s Inouye Solar Telescope is the world’s most powerful solar telescope that will forever change the way we explore and understand our sun,” said NSF Director, Sethuraman Panchanathan, in a statement about the inauguration. “Its insights will transform how our nation, and the planet, predict and prepare for events like solar storms.”
In going ahead with the construction of the Inouye telescope, the telescope’s leadership has emphasized its debt to the people of Hawai’i, including naming the telescope after former Hawai’ian senator Daniel Inouye, and formed a special working group with Hawai’ian leaders to make compromises like building an area for conducting religious ceremonies at the summit. Some, but not all, opponents of the construction have been satisfied by these efforts.
