Answer #2:
It's not that Hawaii is such a good place for astronomical observations.
It's that Hawaii happens to be where the ancient volcano Mauna Kea
is located. With its summit at 13,800 feet above sea level, Mauna Kea is
the second most "topographically prominent" montain in the 50 states,
and measured from its base to its summit, it's the tallest mountain on
Earth. And yet, it's one of only a few places on Earth where you can
drive from sea level to almost 14,000 feet in about 2 hours.
Mauna Kea's summit is one of the best sites in the world for astronomical
observation because a number of factors create favorable observing conditions.
The atmosphere above the volcano is extremely dry ... important for
infrared and submillimeter astronomy because water vapor absorbs
radiation in most of that region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The
summit is above the inversion layer that separates lower maritime air from
upper atmospheric air, keeping most cloud cover below the summit, and
ensuring the air on the summit is dry, and free of atmospheric pollution.
The summit atmosphere is exceptionally stable, and thast lack of turbulence
creates some of the world's best astronomical "seeing". The very dark
skies resulting from Mauna Kea's distance from city lights are preserved
by legislation that minimizes light pollution from the surrounding area,
and the darkness level allows the observation of faint astronomical objects.
These factors historically made Mauna Kea an excellent spot for amateur
stargazing, and eventually for serious, world-class astronomical research.

What is the mileage if you want to travel the circumference of Maui Hawaii?
22 miles INCORRECT
This answer would be close to correct if the question was about Lanai.
For Maui, the shoreline is approximately 120 miles, but to drive around the island requires a lopsided figure eight drive since the coast road does not connect on the southwest side of the coast forcing one to travel back around to the east in the upcountry. Thus, the driving miles would be more like 180 miles in total, with many of the miles along narrow twisting roads. Also note that since the earthquake in 2006, the road on the extreme south was blocked to traffic until the mountainside could be stabilized, which makes it impossible to circumnavigate the island completely until that work is finished.

What are the best cruise lines to Hawaii for children?
The best cruise line for anyone for Hawaii is Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). They are the only cruise line with an American flagged vessel (the Pride of America). Therefore, they can sail the Hawaiian islands without having to make a port call in a foreign country. Other cruise lines either sail from the west coast of the U.S. and make a port call in Ensenada, Mexico, which means you will spend several days in a row at sea just getting to Hawaii. The other cruises that visit are repositioning cruises, such as when ships move out of Alaska at the end of the summer. In fact that is the only time Disney sails to Hawaii at all.
NCL has a good kids program and the prices tend to be less expensive than the other lines which is good for the parents as well. The NCL Hawaii itinerary is 7 nights long, where all the others are at least 10 or more nights.
