Held every September on either the Caltech campus or a University of California campus, this two day meeting consists of talks, breakout and poster sessions on recent scientific results based on observations using the Keck Observatory telescopes atop Maunakea on Hawaiʻi Island – the most scientifically productive and impactful ground-based telescope in the world. Presentations from participating observatories are also included in the agenda.
The first Keck Science Meeting was held in 1994.
