Big Island

The Milky Way from Mauna Kea – Summit and Stars

I came across this incredible time-lapse photography piece of the Milky Way and stars as seen from the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island.

It’s stunningly beautiful, and we’re able to see it because of the lack of light-pollution on the Big Island…which for me is such a powerful reminder of all the other types of pollution that Hawaii is so blessed to be without:

  • Billboards and rampant commercial messages (mental pollution),
  • Crazy traffic or industrial noise pollution, etc. etc. (can you tell I’ve been on the mainland recently?)

Enjoy this short but sweet video.

Aloha, Matt
