There are 13 telescopes atop Mauna Kea, but while they’re all one of a kind in that regard, they vary in how they make observations. Some collect visual light, some infrared. Others are used for radio astronomy. I’d go in to more detail about this, but the science is as far over my head as the telescopes are in this photo!

Glad you didn’t go into the science, way over my head!! What a fabulous picture though – they look like an alien form on the ridge

Exactly, and when I go up there, to the top, that alien quality is even more pronounced.

Yes, and I like those oddball things that are sometimes almost inexplicable.
