Mauna Kea

Suggest planning the date and time of your trip (if you have the luxury). It’s very nice here

Monakya Observatory is also the largest resource in the entire region, the entire observatory can see a long distance of facilities, here to visit can also find some good things, the interior of the observatory did not enter, do not know how complicated the introduction of the celestial bodies here.

The observatory is located on the Big Island, in a relatively high place, self-driving by car, the scenery is particularly good, and the weather in those days is really good, and it is a plus for the attractions, belonging to a place with fewer people.

Hawaii's top Mauna Kea is located on the Big Island of Hawaii, with an altitude of 4207.3 meters, the highest peak in the Hawaiian Islands! There are many observatories on the top of the mountain, and snow will accumulate in winter!

This time I came to the Big Island mainly to watch the sunset at the observatory on the 4,200-meter-high mountain, and the starry sky after dark. I was really lucky to see it. Let me enjoy the infinite charm of nature.

The Mauua Kea Observatory on the Big Island is the highest peak in Hawaii, at an altitude of 4,207 meters. If you start from the foot of the mountain in the sea, the height is 10,203 meters, higher than Everest. It is built as the world's most advanced observatory, and is famous for watching the sunset and stargazing. Although the weather is bad, we still want to see the scenery. All the way to the mountain, the fog is very big, the car up the mountain is also our one, the impression is very deep after a fog area, suddenly appeared on the left hand side of a super tall tree, tall to a bit strange, there is nothing around the tree, the American suspense film is the sense of sight! Along the way, it was rainy. When everyone was down, with a curve, the sight suddenly became clear. Everyone cried, the sunset in the sea of clouds was about to start, everything was so clear~ We quickly parked the car on the side of the road to capture this surprise~ Not far away is the visitor center, My brother saw others climb up a nearby hillside, and rushed over when we reflected it. Of course, if you drive a four-wheeler here, you can go to the top of the mountain, but because we are a 7-seat car, we should stay in the visitor center for safety. I also heard that the family who lived together said that after going to the top of the mountain, my mother appeared high, and went down the mountain within a few minutes, and went home because of her discomfort and didn't see the stars. So before you go, you are still ready to work, set aside a certain time, you can also stay in the visitor center for a while before going up.

When the sun is over, the moon is not yet up, the sky is a clear blue, like the Ganges sands, the stars flashing silver, rushing to our heads, the major constellations of the Milky Way seem to be close at hand. Go down to the visitor center. Staff have moved the telescope one by one to debug. This photo can't be taken anymore, and flashes are not allowed.
