Scientific paper

Above the clouds on the summits of the Big Island of Hawai'i, the Maunakea Observatories (MKO) stand as the world's largest astronomical observatory, with telescopes operated by astronomers from eleven countries. This presentation will discuss the factors that make Maunakea a unique astronomical observing site, including characteristics related to seeing at the MKO, and the observatory's political and physical infrastructure. A brief inventory of current observing facilities will be given, with insights into each telescope's ten-year horizon.
