'Imiloa Astronomy Center

Great voyages, great possibilities

The challenge of the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center was to bring together Hawaiian cultural traditions and the science of astronomy in the context of the world's largest collection of astronomical observatories. AldrichPears Associates and its partners collaborated with the University of Hawaii-Hilo to launch a tourist destination that parallels Polynesian voyages across the Pacific with astronomical voyages through space and time.

In both English and Hawaiian languages, visitors can hear stories about the origin of life from a Hawaiian and a Western perspective.
