I wonder how this will go.It's a proposal by a Taiwanese scientific group to build a small radio telescope just north of Pahala to detect radio waves that are a current mystery in astronomy - fast radio bursts.
"The Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics wants to build a small facility on a 2-acre site situated in a larger 10.7-acre parcel about 1,375 feet southeast and makai (seaward) of the intersection of Wood Valley and Makakupu roads just north of Pāhala in Kaʻū.
The facility would be used for studying the origins of fast radio bursts, which are powerful, milliseconds-long blips of radiation that have puzzled scientists since their discovery nearly 20 years ago."
