The measure said Haleakala\u2019s summit was a sacred place used for religious ceremony, prayer and connecting to ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHaleakala is more than just a mountain; the summit is considered wao akua, or \u2018realm of the gods,\u2019 and continues to be a place of deep spirituality for Native Hawaiians to engage in some of these traditional practices,\u201d the resolution said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It said that the Space Force hasn\u2019t finished <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/geese-hawaii-climate-and-environment-772487b9ff746b03c4bd6fad8c9e900c\" target=\"_blank\">cleaning up<\/a> a 700-gallon <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/us-environmental-protection-agency-hawaii-climate-and-environment-755ed4ec347790ad8944ed8c76ece20d\" target=\"_blank\">diesel fuel spill<\/a> at the site of one its existing Haleakala telescopes. The spill occurred last year when a pump that supplies fuel to a backup generator failed to shut off during a lightning storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed new facility is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amosstareis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">AMOS STAR<\/a>, which is an acronym for Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing Site Small Telescope Advanced Research. It would feature six telescopes enclosed in ground-mounted domes and one rooftop-mounted domed telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The county\u2019s resolution urged the military to heed community calls to cease their development efforts. It urged the National Park Service, Federal Aviation Administration and the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources to deny the project permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clear skies and dry air at Haleakala\u2019s peak make for some of the world\u2019s best conditions for viewing space, similar to the summit of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mauna-kea\" target=\"_blank\">Mauna Kea<\/a> on the Big Island which hosts about a dozen telescopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haleakala rises to 10,023 feet. It already hosts multiple University of Hawaii observatories and an existing collection of Space Force telescopes called the Maui Space Surveillance Complex. Protesters tried to block the construction of a new observatory on Haleakala in 2017 but building went ahead and the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope released its first images in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A proposal by a consortium of universities to build a new observatory on <a
