Description

High bidder will receive four passes for the Imiloa Astronomy Center in Hilo, Hawaii.


‘Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii, a part of the University of Hawaii at Hilo, opened its doors on February 20, 2006.


The $28 million, 40,000-square-foot exhibition and planetarium complex is located on nine acres in the University of Hawaii's Science and Technology Park, above the UH-Hilo campus. 


Originally called the Maunakea Astronomy Education Center, Imiloa was developed in the mid-1990s by a team of educators, scientists and community leaders who understood the need for a comprehensive educational facility that would showcase the connections between the rich traditions of Hawaiian culture and the groundbreaking astronomical research conducted at the summit of Maunakea.


One of the key driving forces behind 'Imiloa is U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye, who has helped secure federal funding at every step from planning to construction. His continued support has been vital to the growth of the facility.


Expires May 1, 2016.
