Join us for a special, free presentation of Awesome Light: Chasing Celestial Mysteries, a planetarium show that highlights the research underway at the observatories on Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano. Awesome Light: Chasing Celestial Mysteries is part of a series of full-dome planetarium presentations produced by the University of Hawaii's ‘Imiloa Center.

It also features stories of personal discovery and inspiration by Hawaiian students.
