I am from Hawai'i but I now live in Hong Kong. The skies are so different, and everytime I return home I am again humbled by how many things you can see at night there. This is the galactic core of the Milky Way. They location I took this was almost completely covered by the 2018 Kilauea eruption, and also happens to be a 20 minute drive from my mom's house. It was a scary time.
