Hi all.
We just had to post these as our Astronomy Teacher to Hawaii comes to an end. Yesterday we experienced a once in a lifetime opportunity of a personalised tour through the Gemini North Telescope on Mauna Kea at an altitude of nearly 14000 feet.
After the tour we wandered around some of the other scopes including the Keck Telescopes. It was a bit like Astrofest during the day - only much bigger.
We can't stop grinning and we are not really trying to either.
Unbelievable.
