Saddle Road
Mauna Kea from Saddle Road, Big Island of Hawaii, Hawaii. Mauna Kea is the top site in the WORLD for astronomical observatories because it is in the middle of an ocean away from light pollution atop a high mountain. Governments and universities from around the world compete for observing time up there. You can barely see white dots on the mountaintop in this photo; these are observatories. |
