The Haleakalā Observatory, also known as the Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory Site, is Hawaii's first astronomical research observatory. [1] It is located on the island of Maui and is owned by the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Hawaiʻi, which operates some of the facilities on the site and leases portions to other organizations.

Dubbed “Science City,” the Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory was erected in 1958 due to the optimal viewing conditions the shield volcano possesses, where a near-absence of light pollution, as well as the high-altitude air and the mountain’s tremendous height, render it one of the most superb and valuable planetariums in the world.

The Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory (HO) site is located near the summit of Haleakalā on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The site was formally designated for observatory use by an executive order of the Governor of Hawai’i in 1961, and has been managed and operated by the University of Hawai’i (UH) to support high-quality, high-impact ...

With a height of 10,023 feet, “Puu Ulaula” is Haleakala’s (and Maui’s) tallest peak. With its cool climate and elevation, Haleakala is a fantastic vantage point for stargazing. In fact, researchers from around the world come to observe the night sky …

The Haleakala High Altitude Observatory Site is located above one-third of the Earth’s atmosphere and is one of the most important observatories in the world. Haleakala’s clear skies, limited light pollution, and still air allow telescopes to provide remarkable seeing conditions.

A remarkable collection of multiple observatories, located atop the 10,000-foot summit of Mount Haleakala. The TLRS-4 facility, for example, in what was called the Lunar Ranging Experiment (LURE), bounced lasers off reflectors left on the moon, to measure tectonic movement on earth.

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) is a scientific facility for studies of the Sun at Haleakala Observatory on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Known as the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) until 2013, it was named after Daniel K. Inouye, a US Senator for Hawaii. [1] It is the world's largest solar telescope, with a 4-meter ...

The Haleakalā Observatory, also known as the Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory Site, is Hawaii's first astronomical research observatory. At over 3,050 meters (10,010 ft) in altitude, the summit of Haleakalā is above one third of the Earths's troposphere and has excelle...
