Astronomy in Hawaii under threat?

[TomK]

"Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue during the day? Gases in the atmosphere bend sunlight the way a prism or lense would to produce different colors. The color of the sky at different times of the day is a prime example of atmospheric lensing."

The sky is blue during the day because of light scattering, not lensing.

"If what you say is true, photographs taken on the dark side of the moon would have visible stars. While photos snapped on the light side would have none."

Now I think this is a troll. 

"People throughout history used bifocals, contact lenses and eyeglasses to make images sharper and more distinct."

Right, those bifocals, contact lenses, and eyeglasses are made out of the atmosphere. Give me a break; no one is this stupid.
