Stargazing on Mauna Kea

Of course, nothing matches the 360-degree view afforded by Mauna Kea.Measured from its base at the ocean floor, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world, and sunset at the summit of this majestic peak is something few people experience and no one could forget. As night falls, yet another show begins. Home to 13 of the world’s most powerful telescopes including Subaru Telescope, the largest telescope in the world, Mauna Kea is about as close as a traveler can get to the stars without leaving earth.
