Mauna Kea

Sunset from the top of Mount Mauna Kea...
(4,205 meters - 13,796 feet)

Enormous and amazing satellites in the background...

Snow in Hawaii! They brought a chunk back to put in the freezer...

Moon rise...

The stars were incredible from up there... we were able to see the ring around Saturn, the Southern Cross(Hawaii is the only possible place to view it in the United States) and even a glittering cluster of stars from a former galaxy that has blended in with our Milky Way!
