Hawaii, Part V

On top of Mauna Kea we saw, what was probably the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen...

With my back to the sun, the moon was crystal clear in the sky

Here is the sun, getting ready to make it's descent. You will notice in the bottom right corner, a piece of equipment for the telescopes.

In this picture, you can vaguely see more of the equipment and telescopes that sit atop the mountain.

The sun is...

going...

going...

almost...

GONE!

A few last pictures as we descended down the mountain.

After watching the sunset on top of the mountain, we headed down to the visitor center to look through their telescopes. With the naked eye alone, the sky was amazing. This was the moon!
