ʻImiloa Astronomy Center

The ʻImiloa Astronomy Center of the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo opened in 2006. Its three titanium-clad cones recall the island's volcanoes Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualālai. Exhibits link Hawaiian voyaging and knowledge of the sky with the work of the observatories on Maunakea, and a planetarium shows the stars over Hawaiʻi; native plants fill the gardens.
