Latitude N 19° 49’ 43”
The Big Island of Hawaii lies at a latitude of N 19° 49’ 43”. An incredibly broad swath of starry sky is visible from this vantage point, including the vast expanse of the Milky Way. The Big Island is one of the few locations on Earth where the North Star and the Southern Cross are both visible in the night sky.
