Excerpt:

Maunakea, Hawaiʻi – W. M. Keck Observatory is pleased to announce its newest instrument, the Keck Cosmic Reionization Mapper (KCRM), has successfully achieved “first light,” marking its first time ‘seeing’ the universe from Maunakea on Hawaiʻi Island. On Sunday, June 4, KCRM team members from Keck Observatory and Caltech captured a first-light image of the Turtle Nebula, or NGC 6210, located about 6,600 light-years away in the Hercules constellation.

Hey, thanks for sharing this post! I think this would also be a good fit for our space community, beehaw.org/c/space – I'd encourage you to cross-post this into that community as well!
