Maunakea is Hawaii's tallest mountain and the tallest in the world (if measured from sea floor to summit). Maunakea is considered the best site for observatories in the Northern Hemisphere and is home to a pack of large telescopes and the sacred place of Hawaiian culture and religion.]]> 2017-09-15 20:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095533 bautistam_19 https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095845 People that are involved with the Thirty Meter Telescope are the people of Hawaii and the nonprofit TMT Observatory Corporation along with its partners. The government is also involved, such as Governor David Y. Ige. He for example, made a statement in 2015 where he agrees with TMT for their 7 year planning and permitting process and as such, are entitled to their construction of the telescope to their own discretion.]]> 2017-09-15 20:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095845 bautistam_19 https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095886 The Thirty Meter telescope is an ongoing project that's being built and debated for, as we speak. First beginning in May 2010 with the signing of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) by the Governor of Hawaii, and then by other agreements. Such as the Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) being approved by the Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources in February 2011, a permit to Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project that was granted by the Hawaiian Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) in April 2013, and the approval of a sublease from the University of Hawaii for TMT to be built on Maunakea (which was also agreed by the Kahu Ku Mauna Council ( a local council created up of local Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners) and the University Of Hawaii Board Of Regents).]]> 2017-09-15 20:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095886 bautistam_19 https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095917 The Thirty Meter Telescope is located ontop of Maunakea in the Big Island. The impacts of TMT is that protesters (mainly made up of cultural activists and environmentalists) think that the telescope may have a negative impact on the nature and native culture on the mountain.]]> 2017-09-15 20:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095917 bautistam_19 https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095951 The Thirty Meter Telescope is important to Hawaii because it comes with benefits such as jobs, scientific/astronomical advancements, and much more! Then again the protesters value their sacred land and come to protect it so a situation arises. Even today, there is still much of a heated debate between the two sides. This is something that has been going on since 2010.]]> 2017-09-15 20:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095951 bautistam_19 https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095980 The situation between TMT and the protesters may be resolved by simply moving TMT to an alternate site in the island of La Palma located in Spain. There's already a 75-year agreement to construct TMT there with the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and it's resources in the case of Maunaea proving to be impractical. However, this of course comes with the negatives that those possible benefits of TMT will be gone.]]> 2017-09-15 20:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188095980 bautistam_19 https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188098811 This cartoon depicts a person a personalized version of TMT who has tripped on a rock that says "protest", hindering the person from going to Maunakea. Pretty much a depiction of the real world protests against TMT that are probably still happening today.]]> 2017-09-15 20:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188098811 bautistam_19 https://padlet.com/bautistam_19/wyxkkdkh5g1x/wish/188099169 This picture here is both an informative and basic picture of the TMT.
