Mauna Kea Heavens

Unde ar vrea să ajungă orice călător serios sau cuplu în luna de miere? Evident că printre variantele de răspuns, Hawaii va fi o destinație de top. Mauna Kea, cel mai înalt vulcan activ din al 51-lea stat american este promovat, alături de observatoarele astronomice locale, în clipul de mai jos:

“Timelapse of the observatories atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The summit is at an altitude of nearly 14,000 ft and is the premiere site for astronomy in the Northern Hemisphere. As an astronomy graduate student at the University of Hawaii, I’ve enjoyed excellent access to the facility. Some of my favorite still images of Mauna Kea can be found at sgphotos.com/photostories/maunakea.
More information (i.e. “What’s up with the lasers?” “What gear did you use?”) can be viewed atsgphotos.com/portfolio/timelapse/makingmaunakeaheavens/.
More of my timelapse work can be found here and at sgphotos.com/portfolio/timelapse. Please notify me prior to featuring my work.
Music: “All is Violent, All is Bright” by God is an Astronaut.
Standard disclaimer: Mauna Kea contains delicate ecosystems and is sacred to the Hawaiian people. If you go there, please be sensitive to the cultural role of the mountain and obey the rules contained at ifa.hawaii.edu/info/vis/visiting-mauna-kea. Permits are required for large groups or commercial filming, and more information can be found at the link. And above all, please be safe—accidents are much more likely when you combine high altitude, sleep deprivation, cold, snow/ice, and darkness!”
