United Kingdom Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea
United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). Dome of UKIRT, the worlds largest infrared telescope, at sunrise. UKIRT is situated at an altitude of 4200 metres on the summit of the dormant volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii, USA. The dome houses a 3.8 metre primary mirror and a wide range of scientific instruments. The mirror can accommodate four detectors at once, switching between them by rotating a flat mirror. Mauna Keas high altitude and stable, dry atmosphere make it one of the worlds best sites for astronomical observations. It is sited above 40% of the Earths atmosphere and above most of the water vapour that prevents infrared astronomy at lower altitudes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) on Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano in Hawaii. As the sun rises over this magnificent observatory, the dome of UKIRT stands tall, housing the world's largest infrared telescope. With its 3.8-meter primary mirror and a wide array of scientific instruments, UKIRT is at the forefront of astrophysics research. Perched at an impressive altitude of 4200 meters, atop Mauna Kea's summit, UKIRT benefits from its unique location. The high altitude and stable atmosphere make it one of the most ideal sites for astronomical observations worldwide. Situated above 40% of Earth's atmosphere and away from water vapor interference that hampers infrared astronomy at lower altitudes, this observatory offers unparalleled opportunities for groundbreaking discoveries. The versatility of UKIRT is evident as it can accommodate four detectors simultaneously by rotating a flat mirror to switch between them swiftly. This capability allows scientists to conduct various experiments and collect valuable data about our universe. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries beyond our planet but also how collaboration across nations like the United Kingdom contributes significantly to advancements in space exploration and astrophysical understanding.
