The Onizuka Center for International Astronomy is, simply put, a stargazer's dream. Located along the slopes of Mauna Kea at 9,200 feet (2,800 m) above sea level, you're much closer to the stars here, and the amazing night sky views provide spectacular proof. If you're coming from the bright lights of a big city, this place will remind you why our ancestors were so fascinated with the skies.
The Center was named after Big Island resident Ellison Onizuka, who was one of the astronauts in the Challenger, the space shuttle that broke apart in 1986 right after take-off, resulting in the death of all seven crew members.
