The Sun has a new nearest asteroid neighbor. One of the youngest planets ever found around a distant infant star has been discovered by an international team of scientists led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa faculty, students, and alumni.Īugust 23, 2021: Fastest Asteroid Around the Sun Discovered October 22, 2021: Infant planet discovered by UH-led team using Maunakea telescopes IfA's Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) atop Haleakalā currently finds nearly as many NEOs and PHAs as the rest of the world's observatories combined, and nearly 60% of the largest and most dangerous ones with sizes greater than 140 meters across (459 feet). The IfA received a $15 million NASA grant to continue its world-leading efforts to discover Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs).

October 24, 2021: NASA awards $15M for asteroid hunting telescopes on Maui Armstrong, the Valley Isle teens used the Faulkes Telescope North on Haleakalā to make the observations. Freshmen Wilson Chau and Holden Suzuki observed NASA's recently-launched Lucy satellite on its journey to visit several Trojan asteroids.

Two budding astronomers from Maui High School continue to hone their skills at solving the mysteries of the universe, thanks to the help of an IfA HI–STAR mentor. November 2, 2021: HI-STAR: 'I Love Lucy' satellite captivates Maui teens November 3, 2021: New study proposes expansion of universe directly impacts black hole growthĪ team of researchers from the Universities of Hawaiʻi, Chicago, and Michigan have proposed a novel solution to the problem of the unexpectedly large black hole masses found by gravitational wave observatories: that they grow with the expansion of the Universe. November 10, 2021: New Method to Detect Tatooine-like Planets ValidatedĪ new technique developed in part by University of Hawaiʻi astronomer Nader Haghighipour has allowed scientists to quickly detect a transiting planet with two suns. These novel sensors will fly aboard the James Webb Space Telescope, providing its infrared "eyes", and versions are in use in many space- and ground-based telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope and Keck. Join IfA Astronomer Klaus Hodapp and Engineer Shane Jacobsen as they recount the development of the HAWAII infrared detectors.
