Discoveries using the telescopes on Mauna Kea
Bouncing between Tommy-boy and Guy-on-the-psycho-edge, things get confused very quickly, and it usually isn't worth the response time.

Briefly, most of these early universe discoveries are first being made by Hubble and Kepler. The discovery is turned over to the Mauna Kea observatories for official confirmation, usually with much deeper imaging leading to significant information. There is a lot of glory-hounding going on with the Mauna Kea observatories because the simple fact is astronomy depends on marketing. So, the press releases are Keck Discovers Distant Galaxy. The fact the dim-bulbs don't get is that doesn't result in the whole industry for Hawaii island promised in the 60's. The observatories that are already there are just fine. The two rage-blind boys can't ever seem to read that.

Just pointing out the fact, the observatories aren't some gigantic source of employment or educational improvement. Telescopes are data acquisition devices, the better the location, the better the output. There is a considerable shrinking going on, meaning space telescopes will be possible in the hundreds, not tomorrow, not next week, not next month, not next year, but within the next 5 to 10 years. And UHH is poised to benefit from them much more than another ground based observatory.
