Everyone knows Hawaii is a popular tourist destination but did you know that this island paradise also boasts some of the best views of the night sky? For this reason, an observatory was built on top of this dormant volcano, Mauna Kea. However, it is worth noting that the mountain is sacred to native Hawaiians and that the observatory is a part of the ongoing disregarding of indigenous cultures in Hawaii. So we recommend that for anyone who's thinking about watching the stars here to consider that before visiting.
