General View of The Project
As you may read in other articles, ‘ohana means "family" in Hawaiʻian. But in this case, OHANA means Optical Hawaiian Array for Nanoradian Astronomy.
This project aims to use seven big telescopes atop the Mauna Kea, Hawaiʻi Big Island, in an interferometer configuration. The Mauna Kea is a former volcano which height is 13,600 ft (4,145 m). The Mauna Kea is a very good place for telescopes which probe the universe in the optical and infrared wavelengths: it is very high and there is not a lot of light pollution.
