ISS, Tiangong, Satellites Over Puna
Not man-made, but a fireball captured south-west of Hawaii by the Gemini cloud cams. UKIRT is in the foreground:

I watched it live today. It's over 50 years late, but it all worked out fine. Artemis III, the next mission, will be in Earth orbit, so possibly visible from Hawaii - we won't know until it launches.  I believe that the mission will test docking with the moon lander. If that goes well, then Artemis IV will be the mission that lands astronauts on the moon.
