Description:
Each Monday, join museum curator Garrett Barmore on an educational exploration of the many amazing minerals, fossils and historic objects on display at the W.M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum!nnThe Mohs Hardness Scale is often used as a first step when classifying rocks and minerals. Before watching, any guesses as to which mineral Friedrich Mohs chose to represent the hardest mineral on the scale?

Besides the North Pole (or at least close to it) that are the only places where you could do a time lapse like that. So I rebuild an old amateur telescope mount, which would work in the cold, with an arduino and a stepper motor to track the moon. But the only time the time lapse will work is right at sunset or sunrise, because exposure has")

As Keck enters the era of even larger telescopes on the ground, it must leverage these strengths in new ways to continue and expand its leadership and impact. An exciting new capability coming to the observatory will be the Keck Discovery Engine. The Discovery Engine will combine the")
