M. Keck Observatory has set the highest standards of excellence in scientific achievement. The twin 10-meter telescopes on Mauna Kea are the most powerful tools we have to study the Universe. Sponsored by the Rob and Terry Ryan Foundation, “Evenings with Astronomers” is an annual by-invitation lecture series held at The Fairmont Orchid at Mauna Lani Resort, developed to build community and philanthropic support for Keck Observatory.

M. Keck Observatory and the ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawai’i presented the Maunakea Directors Lectures Series, a distinctive collection of talks given by the individuals who lead the world-class astronomical facilities on the summit of Mauna Kea.
