Haleakala National Park in Hawaii is unbelievable at night. Chris Archer captured this timelapse of the full moon rising over the park’s Mt. Haleakala – at more than 10,000 feet, the summit is far above the clouds. After the moon rises with a beautiful orange glow, it changes into a white light that illuminates the crater. All the while, the night sky sparkles with stars. Video courtesy of Chris Archer.
