Atop a volcano

Capt. Robert Copley, commander Detachment 3, 21st Operations Group, looks out from the dome of one of the telescopes atop Haleakala volcano in Maui, Hawaii. The detachment sits on the rim of the volcano’s crater high above the cloud layer, light pollution and atmospheric interference that could impair the optical telescope’s view of deep space.
