From a remote outpost on the summit of Hawaii's dormant Mauna Kea volcano, astronomers at the W. M. Keck Observatory probe the deepest regions of the Universe with unprecedented power and precision. Their instruments are the twin Keck Telescopes, the world's largest optical and infrared telescopes. Each stands eight stories tall and weighs 300 tons, yet operates with nanometer precision. At the heart of each Keck Telescope is a revolutionary primary mirror. Ten meters in diameter, the mirror is composed of 36 hexagonal segments that work in concert as a single piece of reflective glass.  2, record 3, English, - Keck%20telescope

La conception du télescope de Keck marque une innovation importante : la surface réfléchissante de l'instrument est composée d'une mosaïque de trente-six miroirs hexagonaux, tous orientables individuellement grâce à trois vérins. Elle équivaut à un miroir primaire de 10 m de diamètre, sans en avoir le poids [...] Un second télescope - Keck II - doit être mis en service au sommet du Mauna Kea.  2, record 3, French, - t%C3%A9lescope%20Keck

Naturally emitted microwaves are the target of this unusual telescope. Located near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the JCMT [James Clerk Maxwell Telescope] is helping to open a new window on the universe. Named after the pioneering Scottish physicist who gave us a fundamental understanding of electricity and magnetism, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope is used to investigate a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is only now beginning to be explored. The telescope is capable of exploring radio waves with a range of about 0. 3 to 2 mm... JCMT was built jointly by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and is funded by the UK, Canada and the Netherlands. It is operated from the Joint Astronomy Centre in Hilo, Hawaii and used by astronomers from the funding countries and world-wide, who visit the observatory for the few days that they are scheduled to use the telescope each year.  1, record 5, English, - James%20Clerk%20Maxwell%20Telescope
