Star Gazers of Hawaiʻi offers free large telescope viewing opportunities

HONOLULU (KHON2) — If you enjoy stargazing, we have quite a few opportunities to see some great, out of this world celestial things for the upcoming eclipse.

KHON2 was able to catch up with astronomer Nick Bradly who created Star Gazers of Hawaiʻi, and he can help guide us through October space events.

Nick attended the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering.

Nick became interested in the infinity of space when in middle school and has spent his life developing his passion. He is now able to pass that passion on to his community through his Star Gazers of Hawaiʻi endeavors.
