CSO and JCMT
I noticed this unusual alignment of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope while wandering around Mauna Kea recently. CSO is finishing its operations and ultimately will be deconstructed and removed. JCMT just changed ownership from the Joint Astronomy Centre (United Kingdom) to the University of Hawaii and the East Asian Observatory. Together with the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope and replacement of CFHT with a 10-meter telescope, it's an exciting time for Mauna Kea.
