Lahaina Noon at Subaru Telescope's Base Facility
Hawaii is the only U.S. state where people can experience Lahaina Noon, the few moments when the Sun is directly overhead, and upright objects, such as a post, have no shadow. In the tropics, the Sun only passes overhead twice a year, usually in May and July. Look at the base of the milepost to see how the shadows of the milepost in the courtyard of Subaru Telescope's base facility in Hilo, Hawaii shift before and after Lahaina Noon. When the Sun crosses the meridian point (its highest point), the shadow of the milepost almost disappears but then emerges again on the right side of the post.
For more information about Lahaina Noon, refer to the May 25, 2012 article on the Subaru website: Magical Moments of Lahaina Noon in Hilo

STORYLINE
For decades, astronomers have flocked to the highest point in Hawaii to search the night skies with some of the most powerful telescopes on the planet. But the 14,000-foot summit of the dormant Mauna Kea volcano is considered a sacred place by native Hawaiians and a dispute has erupted. Scientists say their best window on the universe is at stake.

The Big Island, Hawaii Drone Footage | 4K Stress reduction by viewing nature scenes
This video used about 20 hours for 7 days to capture the magnificent view of the island of Hawaii. We hope that this footage has the effect of reducing stress and improving sleeplessness. Just looking at nature has been shown to be effective in reducing stress. [Ulrich, R.(1984)] So I created this with high-definition 4K video and natural sounds. The aerial image shot the scenery of the island of Hawaii using DJI MAVIC AIR. We used EDIUS Pro 9 for video editing. The video content is , a beach, a sunset, a meadow, a lava plateau, a valley, and a plant. The flight scene was taken as slow as possible and for a long time to create a floating sensation.

Records on recovery after cholecystectomy of patients in a suburban Pennsylvania hospital between 1972 and 1981 were examined to determine whether assignment to a room with a window view of a natural setting might have restorative influences. Twenty-three surgical patients assigned to rooms with windows looking out on a natural scene had shorter postoperative hospital stays, received fewer negative evaluative comments in nurses' notes, and took fewer potent analgesics than 23 matched patients in similar rooms with windows facing a brick building wall.

MAUNA KEA WEB CAM
Well here's another mystery conveniently solved by science - all those strange cloud anomalies we've been watching and wondering about? They're just alternating layers of cirrus, according to the good people at the CFHT (Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope) at Mauna Kea.
Whew. That's a relief. And all those high-tech, top-secret military facilities and projects atop Mauna Kea and Haleakala? Oh don't worry, they're just watching stars and clouds and looking for aliens and stuff...
I'm sure there's nothing sinister in any of these projects they may or may not be working on:
DIRECTED ENERGY DIRECTORATE(
The Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate, Kirtland AFB, N.M. is the U.S. Air Force's center of expertise in the range of technologies required for high-energy lasers, high-power microwaves, high-power millimeter waves and advanced optics. Associated technologies include optical imaging and communication technologies and modeling, simulation and effects studies. As the technical expert, the directorate also provides independent assessment and analysis of directed energy concepts for multiple Air Force customers. The directorate has a space optical site and high performance computing center on the island of Maui, Hawaii.
AIR FORCE MAUI OPTICAL STATION (AMOS)
(
An asset of the US Air Force Materiel Command's Phillips Laboratory, is located at the summit of Haleakala, on the island of Maui. It is part of the Maui Space Surveillance Site (MSSS). The mission of AMOS is to conduct research and development of new and evolving electro-optical sensors, as well as to provide support for operational missions defined by US and AF Space Command. In addition, AMOS provides experiment support to a wide variety of military and civilian organizations in diverse fields. This support has included the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and many universities. AMOS has hosted and supported a wide variety of visiting experiments.
Typical AMOS visiting experiments include:
-- SUPPORT FOR TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC MISSILE LAUNCHES OUT OF BOTH VANDENBERG AND KAUAI (MISSILE LAUNCHES OUT OF KAUAI???)
-- Detection and tracking of orbital debris
-- Observations of shuttle and satellite special operations
-- LASER illumination of satellites (WHY?)
-- Atmospheric physics
-- Space sciences and astronomy
-- Short Wavelength Adaptive Technology (SWAT), a long term experiment funded by SDIO and requiring the construction of additional facilities at the observatory
-- Relay Mirror Experiment (RME), funded by SDIO and managed by Phillips Laboratory, operated in Maui.
In addition to these facilities, the University of New Mexico manages the Phillips Laboratory's Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC). The MHPCC is a state-of-the-art computing center using massively parallel processing computers, based on the IBM SPx series. The MHPCC supports both Department of Defense and civilian users, operating in both classified and unclassified modes. AMOS utilizes the MHPCC for a significant amount of its image processing.
So. There you have it - nothing at all to worry about. I'm sure they'd tell us if they were EXPERIMENTING with any high-tech weaponry or serious weather manipulation, right???

Brown Dwarfs and their Disks by Mary Barsony
View this with the slides at our SlivesLive page:
Objects with masses (greater than 0.08 solar masses) too small to sustain hydrogen fusion were theorized to exist five decades ago, and discovered 30 years later, due to their extreme faintness. Even less massive (greater than 13 Jupiter or less than 0.01 solar masses) are the planetary mass objects (PMOs), so-called because they are not orbiting a star. We have discovered large populations of
such free-floating PMOs and brown dwarfs in the nearest star-forming regions to Earth, when they are at their brightest and most amenable to detection. Do such objects outnumber the stars in the Galaxy? Do they have their own planetary or moon systems? Could these sustain surface or subsurface liquid water for eons via tidal heating and thus provide environments conducive for the development of microbial life?
Dr. Barsony is a Principal Investigator at the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe at the SETI Institute and Adjunct Professor of Physics and Astronomy at San Francisco State University. She has served as a faculty member at USC, Harvey Mudd College, and U.C. Riverside. She earned her Ph.D. in physics from Caltech, and her S.B. in physics from MIT. Through submillimeter observations in the early '90's, Dr. Barsony discovered the first true protostar--an object surrounded by in falling gas in the process of accumulating the mass it will have as a full-fledged star. Protostars are the focus of intense study with state-of-the-art instruments, on the Keck telescopes in Hawaii, the future JWST(James Webb Space Telecope) scheduled for a 2018 launch, and ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array)consisting of a total of 66 radio telescopes operating as one at 16000 ft. elevation in the driest desert on Earth in Chile.
Currently, Dr. Barsony is investigating the formation mechanisms and properties of free-floating planetary mass objects in the nearest starforming regions to Earth, with state-of-the-art, near-infrared, multi-object spectrographs on the Keck and Subaru telescopes atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Project PANOPTES: Enabling citizen scientists to find exoplanets with affordable technology
The Denver Astronomical Society (DAS) promotes the enjoyment and understanding of astronomical phenomena, history and lore by providing educational and observing opportunities for our members, education to the general public, and outreach activities at the University of Denver's Historic Chamberlin Observatory, schools, and nature centers.
On February 14th, 2014, the Denver Astronomical Society presented Josh Walawender of Project PANOPTES, a citizen science project recruiting people to detect and measure exoplanets from their own backyard with digital cameras. The audio accompanying this video was recorded as part of an earlier lecture given to the Night Sky Network, which includes additional talking points by Dr. Olivier Guyon, Josh Walawender, and Mike Butterfield.
You can learn more about Project PANOPTES here:
And don't forget to check out the Denver Astronomical Society here.
Dr. Josh Walawender is an astronomer at the 8-meter Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. He earned his bachelors degree at the University of California at Berkeley and his PhD at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Josh's research interests lie in the area of star formation and he has worked extensively on building and operating small (0.1 to 1 meter) robotic telescopes. Josh has been an avid amateur astronomer since childhood and still enjoys observing sessions under the Big Island's pristine skies.
The goal of Project PANOPTES (Panoptic Astronomical Networked OPtical observatory for Transiting Exoplanets Survey) is to build low cost, reliable, robotic telescopes which can be used to detect transiting extra-solar planets. PANOPTES is a citizen science project in which will involve amateur astronomers, school groups, and others from the community in all aspects of the science: instrument design, instrument construction, data collection, and data analysis. The hardware and software will be open source. The project is depending on members of the community to assemble and deploy their own PANOPTES units in order to build up a global network of telescopes. The hardware is designed to be standardized, using as many commercial off the shelf components as possible so that a PANOPTES unit can be reproduced quickly and easily. In this talk Dr. Walawender will describe the current state of PANOPTES and how amateur astronomers can get involved.
The monthly meeting started with a short business meeting, at which time 2014-2015 DAS officers will be elected.
As usual, there was a reception with coffee and other refreshments at Chamberlin Observatory after the meeting, to which all attendees were invited.
