Can we have any references to the section telling us about the first closure phase measurements?

Wikimedia and Wikipedia require that photos be available for all uses, including commercial use. The University of Hawaii system prohibits photos taken within the Mauna Kea Science Area Reserve from being used commercially or released for commercial use unless a commercial film/photography permit was acquired before the photos were taken. In addition, if photos include any observatory buildings, permission for commercial use must be acquired from each observatory shown.

While it is unlikely that the University has the time or interest to do anything about posting of "unauthorized" photos to Wikipedia, this apparently irreconcilable conflict between its policy and that of Wikimedia and Wikipedia is something Wikipedians should be aware of when considering submitting their personal photos of Mauna Kea.
I've worked on Mauna Kea for five years, most of it for the University of Hawaii, so I'm very familiar with their policies. I've never once gotten a permit for commercial photography, and as a result, I can't submit to Wikipedia any of the thousands of photos I have of the observatories.
Hope this helps!

Under what authority does the University determine the copyright status of photos an individual has taken. They may control access to the installation and tell you whatever they want. Nevertheless upon leaving the installation they don't get to dictate copyright restrictions of photos an individual took. If an individual takes a photo, then uses it commercially without having gotten their permission, their only option is to not let that individual back on the property. This seems like a serious case of copyfraud to me. Huckfinne ( talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
I added some info about the structure of the telescope (mount, etc) and a couple of the better-known discoveries made using it.
