| During 2009, The International Year of Astronomy, The "Mauna Kea Skies"
series at `Imiloa was replaced by the "Directors' Lecture" series. The directors of the
observatories took turns giving a monthly lecture, both in Hilo (at `Imiloa
on the third Saturday of the month) and in Waimea (at Keck on the Thursday
preceeding the Hilo date). All lectures were at 7pm. Big Island IYA Events Flyer International Year of Astronomy 2009 (International Site) International Year of Astronomy 2009 (US Site). |
