Timelapse video of the Keck Observatory

This is a cool timelapse video of people working at the Keck Observatory. I saw the Keck Observatory on the top of Mauna Kea two years ago when I was in Hawaii. It would have been really cool to see the insides, but I am sure they were busy doing sciencey stuff. We just watched the sun go down, and then went to a lower, warmer elevation and did some observing through a telescope. It was a pretty awesome time for a space nerd like myself. It’s hard to believe that 125 people work full-time at the Keck Observatory. Talk about an awesome job.

Here are a few of my pictures. It was pretty cool seeing the Sun set above the clouds.
