Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii

‘Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawai‘i is an astronomy and culture education center located in Hilo, Hawaii. It features exhibits and shows dealing with Hawaiian culture and history, astronomy (particularly at the Mauna Kea Observatories), and the overlap between the two.

‘Imiloa includes a 120-seat planetarium, which features a fulldome video projection system. Planetarium presentations include ‘Imiloa's exclusive signature show, "Maunakea: Between Earth and Sky." The bilingual exhibits (in Hawaiian and English) offer two views of Origins and Voyages, presenting the tools, visions and discoveries of the astronomers and the Polynesian voyagers (see Polynesian navigation), the first group of whom are thought to have voyaged to Hawaii from the Marquesas Islands. Visitors to ‘Imiloa will leave with a new understanding of the early Polynesians, who used the stars to find these isolated islands in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean. Hawaiians refer to these long-distance canoe explorers as "our first astronomers." Another planetarium show, "Dawn of the Space Age 3D," recounts the early days of space exploration, the so-called space race between the USSR and the USA. This is the only 3D planetarium show in the world.

Clair De Lune

by: Amiel

The year comes as the sun sets
my eyes swell with simplicity
the call of human nothingness
the answer of everything
i find myself lost in your majesty
The worlds tells of innocence
like the child inside of me
it's only good while its hearts beats beauty
brave the pain
so you may drink of me
You left me
as i walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
Stars prick their bed of pink
bleeding blue
find there way to you eyes
as i stare into you
self falls away in the twilight
this is the first of our summer nights
now there is nothing we must be or do
If i could freeze this moment in time
i'd frame it and hang it in the hall of divive
i'd call the whole world and beg them to see
how much we love
how lucky i'd be
You left me
as i walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
I don't know where we end up begin
i don't know if that's yours of my skin
i've got nothing to lose
everything I am i give up to you
As i walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
I walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
Comes as the sunsets
my eyes swell with simplicity
self falls away in the twilight
