Alison at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, 2003.

Alison and friend in front of one of the five (and soon to be six) radio telescopes at the Harvard-Smithsonian Sub-Millimeter Array way up above Hawaii, at about 4,200m, in fact, or 14,000 feet above sea level.

The Sub-Millimeter Array radio telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Astronomers observe overnight, but the base station is at sea-level near Hilo and the dormitory is at 9,000 feet (2745m).

Mauna Kea is the home of about 12 different telescope projects, in optical, infrared, and radio wave-lengths and any others I may have forgotten. As I understood it, the Subaru is on the left, the two Keck optical observatories are in the middle, and I forget about the one on the right.
