Origins of Astronomy in Hawai`i

The public is invited to a free talk by Dr. Walt Steiger on the Origins of astronomy in Hawai`i. Knowledge of the night sky was very much a part of early Hawaiian culture. Western astronomy sporadically entered the scene but did not achieve a permanent foot-hold until 1957 with the advent of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), leading to a solar observatory on Oahu and later atop Haleakala. The incredibly clear skies above Hawai`i’s mountains soon attracted some of the world’s major telescopes.

Predicting Climate Change

The public is invited to a free talk by Dr. John Barnes, Director of the NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory, on predicting climate change. The Presentation will be held in the Moanahoku Hall on the Science On a Sphere Exhibit.
