All,
Thought I'd change the subject of this thread for a couple of reasons:
1) It's now a general thread which can be used to post about astronomical discoveries made by the observatories in Hawaii, rather than several mini-threads;
2) To try and limit things to discoveries made here and not elsewhere.
The latter is a little more difficult because astronomy is an international collaboration, but hoping it things will be mainly about Hawaii-based discoveries.
As an example, a new dwarf planet has been discovered by the Canada France Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) on Mauna Kea that's far beyond the orbit of Pluto:
