Officials from a Big Island astronomical observatory say an oil leak was discovered in the hydraulic system supporting one of its telescopes. Keck Observatory notified the state Department of Health of the leak from the Keck I telescope on Monday, even though it was first detected on April 19, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported . Technicians also inspected the Keck I's twin telescope, Keck II, and found no oil seeping on the Keck II's pier wall. The Keck Observatory is located near the summit of Mauna Kea. It's unknown whether the earthquake exacerbated the oil leak.
