Last year the Clue Crew from Jeopardy! Visited Haleakalā to film clues for the show. They filmed at the University of Hawai`i sites, including the Laser Ranging Station, PanSTARRS, and of course they filmed at the Faulkes Telescope North. On March 25th the show aired. The show devoted a category to Haleakalā.
The crew found a particular interest in LCOGT, and our strong educational mission. They filmed an extra 30 second segment on LCOGT, telling people that if they wanted to see the heavens from their laptop they should visit us.
As soon as the show started airing in Michigan (which is in the Eastern Time Zone) I started getting text messages. Everyone seemed to love seeing our telescope on TV, and I had a great time showing the crew around the summit. For more about this amazing trip go to the Clue Crew page on Facebook.
