This sadly, isn't about a discovery by Mauna Kea observatories, it's more of a complaint about Mauna Kea observatories, a challenge for you guys to try a little harder, maybe pick up your game.
I read yesterday (see link below) that micrometeorites are landing all over my roof, and sliding down with the leaves and other debris into my gutters. Space detritus is clogging my downspouts. Now given that Mauna Kea observatories have been blamed for all manner of nuisance and aggression including but not limited to; ground water pollution, generic desecration, potential military blitzkriegs, increase in geothermal electrical demand, etc, etc, I thought, why stop there? Let's add rain gutters to the list.
TomK, how is it possible you and your fellow astronomers allow this astronomical micrometeorite outer space trash to fall right past your telescopes and onto Big Island house roofs below? Oh I know, some of you study exoplanets, some focus on distant galaxies, pulsars, quasars and the like, so pass the buck if you must. I'll manage for now as the problem is at this point manageable. But in the future, should I ever find anything bigger, heavier, beyond micro-sized mixed in with the decomposing ohia leaves and Cook Island pine needles, for instance a nebula or black hole, you'll be hearing from me.
