Ground motion hazard map for Hawaii, based on a 2% probability of exceeding 0.2 second spectral acceleration at 5 Hz in 50 years. Spectral acceleration (SA) is a unit measured in g (the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, equivalent to g-force) that describes the maximum acceleration in an earthquake on an object – specifically a damped, harmonic oscillator moving in one physical dimension.
The arrival of snow in the region is not uncommon, especially in higher elevations between 9,000 and 10,000 feet, Alan Reppert, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather shared with USA TODAY on Tuesday.
The W. M. Keck Observatory is an astronomical observatory with two telescopes at an elevation of 4,145 meters (13,600 ft) near the summit of Mauna Kea in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Both telescopes have 10 m (33 ft) aperture primary mirrors, and, when completed in 1993 (Keck I) and 1996 (Keck II), they were the largest optical reflecting ...
This requirement has resulted in an instrument which provides spectral resolutions of R~1000-2000 across 0.8-2.4 μm, 2.0-4.1 μm, and 2.3-5.5 μm, using prism cross-dispersers (15 arcsec-long slits). Single order long slit (60 arcsec) modes are also available.
This image of the central Pacific, captured on Friday, Apr. 12, 2024, shows the storm with its bright-colored clouds spinning northwest of Hawaii (lower center). Intense rain was occurring in the ...
As of early Saturday morning, local time, Calvin was churning to the west-northwest at a speed of 16 mph. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 105 mph and was located about 1,285 miles from ...
As artificial light forms a light cloud above the land, the excess light disrupts the clear pictures taken by the telescopes. On July 1, 2013, the Hawaii Night Sky Protection Act was initiated, affecting both the Big Island and Maui. A large difference between the Hawaiian islands and the mainland United States can be observed: street lighting.
Watch live as the Kilauea volcano erupts on Hawaii's Big Island after a three-month pause. This live feed, which began late on Saturday night local time (10 June) from the, shows lava spewing from ...
