The sky on
your birthday.
Hawaii Credit:
From orbit, the Space Shuttle Discovery captured this stunning view of the entire Hawaiian Island archipelago in 1988. The graceful arc of Earth's limb frames the volcanic islands. Hawaii's high elevations, like Mauna Kea on the Big Island, provide dry, cloudless skies, making them ideal locations for ground-based telescopes.
