"You want a telescope to be sitting on the best place possible obviously because that's going to be an expensive telescope, very powerful. So you want to make sure that the condition out there where it's going to be sitting at the best possible and there are a few criteria for that you want the highest mountain possible. But it's a combination of constraints. You want a high mountain. You want a place where I would say the percentage of clear nights is high. OK. So, you don't have too many clouds, you have clear sky. And you also take the third parameter which is very important to the quality of the atmosphere itself, how turblent it is. So a place like Mauna Kea for instance combines these three. OK. We have a high percentage of clear nights, it's quite high, it's 4200 meters. It's one of the highest observatories in the world. And at the same time the quality of the atmosphere is superb. That means it's not turbulent or it's in terms of turbulence it has a minimal level. So you need to apply very little correction to get the best image possible."

Is there life outside our solar system ? How did stars and galaxies form in the earliest years of the universe? How do black holes shape galaxies?
Scientists are expected to explore these and other fundamental questions about the universe when they peer deep into the night sky using a new telescope planned for the summit of Hawaii's tallest mountain.
But the Thirty Meter Telescope is a decade away from being built. And Native Hawaiian protesters are trying to stop the start of construction claiming it will defile a place they consider sacred.
STORYLINE
Native Hawaiians and their supporters are protesting the construction of a giant telescope on the state's tallest mountain, a site that some consider sacred.
Protetstors are continuing their long-running effort to stop construction of the 1.4 billion US dollars telescope. They have blocked a road for 11 days ( as of 26 July) to prevent construction crews from starting their work.
Last weekend, 2,000 people joined the protest camp. Actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson visited the protesters this week to declare he stood with them.
But supporters also are impassioned about why they believe the telescope belongs on Mauna Kea, which has the best conditions for viewing the night sky in the Northern Hemisphere.
The telescope is expected to allow astronomers to peer back some 13 billion years in time to shortly after the Big Bang. It's expected to help astronomers determine whether life exists on planets outside the solar system and better understand fundamental concepts like gravity.
The weather at the summit of Mauna Kea tends to be ideal for viewing the skies. At nearly 14,000 feet, its peak is normally above the clouds. Being surrounded by the ocean means air flows tend to be smoother and it has the driest atmosphere of any of the candidate sites.
The observatory would join 13 other telescopes already at the summit, though several are due to be decommissioned in a concession to telescope opponents.
The large size of the telescope's mirror means it would collect more light, allowing it to see far-away objects such as stars and galaxies dating back as long as 13 billion years.
The telescope gets its name from the size of the mirror, which will be 30 meters (98 feet) in diameter. That's three times as wide as the world's largest existing visible-light telescope.
The telescope would be more than 200 times more sensitive than current telescopes and able to resolve objects 12 times better than the Hubble Space Telescope, says Christophe Dumas, head of operations for the Thirty Meter Telescope.
"The Thirty Meter Telescope as its name says, is a telescope which is 30 meters in diameter. That's the diameter of the primary mirror. That's not the only mirror. There is a second mirror and a tertiary mirror. And actually the primary mirror itself is made of many mirrors, 482 of them."
Adaptive optics would correct the blurring effects of the Earth's atmosphere explains Dumas.
"So, we are going to have the suite of instruments on these telescopes that are going to be sitting on what we call platform on each side of the telescope, and the light will be reflected from the tertiary mirror to these instruments. Some of them will be observing I would say in what we call 'seeing limited mode' that means there will be no question of the light coming from the sky. Others will be equipped with some very special objects called adaptive optics, and these kind of optics is very important for the TMT because it will enable the full potential of special resolution that a 30 meter telescope can get."
During the past 20 years, astronomers have discovered it is common for planets to orbit other stars in the universe.
But they don't know much about what those planets — called extra solar planets or exoplanets — are like.
The new telescope would allow scientists to determine whether their atmospheres contain water vapor or methane which might indicate the presence of life.
Dumas says the new telescope would use special optics to suppress the light of stars. He compares the technique to blocking a bright street light in the distance with your thumb then seeing insects circling in the fainter light below.
But so far astronomers have only been able to observe this dynamic in detail in the Milky Way because the next galaxy is 100 times farther away.
The Thirty Meter Telescope would enable scientists to study more galaxies and more black holes in greater detail.
"You want a telescope to be sitting on the best place possible obviously because that's going to be an expensive telescope, very powerful. So you want to make sure that the condition out there where it's going to be sitting at the best possible and there are a few criteria for that you want the highest mountain possible. But it's a combination of constraints. You want a high mountain. You want a place where I would say the percentage of clear nights is high. OK. So, you don't have too many clouds, you have clear sky. And you also take the third parameter which is very important to the quality of the atmosphere itself, how turblent it is. So a place like Mauna Kea for instance combines these three. OK. We have a high percentage of clear nights, it's quite high, it's 4200 meters. It's one of the highest observatories in the world. And at the same time the quality of the atmosphere is superb. That means it's not turbulent or it's in terms of turbulence it has a minimal level. So you need to apply very little correction to get the best image possible." says Dumas.
Two other giant telescopes are being built in Chile, which also has excellent conditions for astronomy.
The European Extremely Large Telescope will have a primary mirror measuring 39 meters, or 128 feet, in diameter. The Giant Magellan Telescope's mirror will be 24.5 meters, or 80 feet, in diameter.
The Thirty Meter Telescope is the only one expected to be built in the Northern Hemisphere. Because different spots on Earth look out on different parts of the sky, the next-generation ground telescopes will ensure scientists are able to see the entire universe.
Activists have fought the Thirty Meter Telescope in the courts and on the streets for years, but the latest protests could be their final stand as they run out of legal options.
The state Supreme Court has given the green light to the project that would put one of the world's most powerful telescopes atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island.
The universities and national observatories behind the Thirty Meter Telescope have selected Spain's Canary Islands as a backup site in case they are unable to build in Hawaii.
