Haleakala High Altitude Observatory - Hawaii

Address:Skyline Trail
Maui, Hawaii

Maui is one of the best places on Earth to stargaze. From the Haleakala High Altitude Observatory, astronomers are able to peer into space with the help of a powerful telescope. Historically, Maui has been a premier location for astronomers, who appreciate the remoteness of the island, more importantly, the lack of a light pollution that often obscures what can be seen in space through a telescope. The site is a great starting point for hikes into the crater and great sunrises - the Observatory is not open to the public.
