A Cosmic Misunderstanding

During my second trip on the Big Island of Hawai’i, a trip that turned out to be as spectacular as the first one, was made quite unique by the fact that the Mauna Loa volcano started erupting the day we arrived.

If I was not able to see and photograph the fire in the sky (i.e. stars), I would get to see it coming out of the ground. But this post will not be about this event, but about the ongoing controversy regarding Mauna Loa’s neighbor volcano Mauna Kea and the telescopes sitting atop it decoding the universe.
