Thanks for the clarification, Opihikao. Hail at the lower elevations on Mauna Kea happens. It's not common, but does occur. Hail at the summit is very rare, but again, can happen it's just even less common.
Spent a little time yesterday evening explaining to a dear friend that Mars won't be appearing near the moon and with the same apparent size as the full moon later this month. It's a hoax that's been going around for over a decade and reappears each summer. The internet is great, but does allow misinformation to spread. It's one reason a good education is so much more important these days. There's so much more to filter out.
