Abstract
Content

Space is vast and deep. Therefore, gathering information about transient astronomical events is like trying to find a black hole in a galaxy. To help researchers gather data on those phenomena, such as supernovae and exoplanet sightings, technologist Wayne Rosing founded the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) in 2005. With its global headquarters in Goleta, California, LCO operates 25 automated telescopes at seven observatories, with locations in Hawaii, Texas, Chile, Spain, South Africa, Israel, China, and Australia.
