Hapuna Galaxy

I was recently in Hawaii for Science Getaways, taking a bunch of like-minded science enthusiasts (OK, fine: nerds) to tour volcanoes, beaches, a coffee plantation, a seahorse farm, and lots more. It was fantastic. My wife and I arrived a couple of days early to set up and also to meet with some friends who were there for HawaiiCon. I'm glad we did--we went out to dinner with Aaron Douglas (yeah, from Battlestar Galactica; he's not only a good guy, but a major science geek, too) who introduced us...
