Milky Way above the Clouds from Hawaii's Mauna Kea
Milky Way from 9,300 ft up on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea - It was wonderful to see a very clear Milky Way from “above” the clouds! I took this after sunset and while the moon was rising from below the clouds. I was at the top of the hill across the road from the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy / Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station (MKVIS). This is the high point for vehicles not ascending to the summit.
