UH-Hilo students will soon have a greater share of viewing time from the Mauna Kea observatories. This is good news for UHH astronomy students, and for the Big Island in general as it will encourage more students to apply for school here, in a program that affords them the possibility to work and study with some of the best telescopes in the world:
Undergraduate students at the University of Hawai#699;i at Hilo will soon have access to the Maunakea telescopes, an amazing opportunity to work with the world’s premiere telescopes located on the world’s best site for astronomy.
“A stronger astronomy program at UH Hilo also means more educational opportunities for the local communities and keiki, a prominent core value of our mission.”

The moon kind of surprises me sometimes. I’ll be out at night and I’ll see a nice moon, and say, “Hey, that looks good.” Then I’ll say, “Oh sh-t, I went up there one time!” Kind of surprises me. It’s like there are two Moons, you know—the one that’s usually around, and then that one. - Michael Collins, Apollo 11 astronaut
