England are all out for 208, meaning that Pakistan need 389 to win. In their three innings of this series to day they have tallied a combined 417. They have a huge mountain to climb. I leave it to others to decided whether it qualifies for Olympus Mons or is merely a full base-to-peak ascent of Mauna Kea (it is defo beyond Everest!).

#Spain Bids $1.1 Billion to Win #ThirtyMeterTelescope Away From #MaunaKea
$Europe’s fullest financing package yet covers both construction and fifty years of operations
In a new bid to get the Thirty Meter #Telescope (#TMT) to move from #Hawaii, which has blocked its construction for more than a decade, the Spanish government has put together $1.14 billion package that would not only pay for construction on the #CanaryIslands, but would finance half century of operations.

Hilo International PHTO → Ellison Onizuka Kona International PHKO

While I'm still figuring out where my next multi-leg journey will take me, I thought: why not see if the Cessna 172 can fly over Mauna Kea? Its service ceiling is 14,000 ft, and Mauna Kea stands at 13,803 ft.

So, I packed some oxygen and took off. After a wide circle around the volcano and the slowest climb of all time (100–200 ft/min), the altimeter maxed out at 15,000 ft, leaving me with a comfortable margin over the summit.

35 years ago today a particularly long total #SolarEclipse hit Hawaii and Central and South America - of which astronomers on #MaunaKea made ample use as the legendary #WGBH documentary "Eclipse of th Century" shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRI5FEQbn7o = https://archive.org/details/EclipseoftheCentury (my favorite scene is in minute 45-46 when astronomers rush out of a telescope control room during totality to marvel at the eclipse with their own eyes). See also https://diary4dan.wordpress.com/2016/07/11/heute-vor-25-jahren-bei-der-riesen-sofi-in-mexiko and https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/07/06/das-sind-die-asteroiden-torifune-kamo%ca%bboalewa ("Eine ungewöhnlich lange Totale Sonnenfinsternis") for further memories of that event I've found online 10 years ago and today.
