Mauna Kea astronomers discover most distant black hole, fires on Molokai, libraries ask for help


American and Japanese astronomers using the Subaru telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea have discovered the most distant black hole in space, surrounded by a giant galaxy, a finding that may help to increase understanding of how the celestial bodies evolved

State and county firefighters appeared to have a brush fire under control near residential areas in central Molokai yesterday but were continuing to battle its spread into difficult mountain terrain

The ongoing brush fire in Molokai shut down schools and impacted businesses and daily life Monday as fire crews and others battled the blaze for a third day.


Faced with a $6 million budget cut, the state public library system will be asking library users, corporations and foundations to donate whatever they can to prevent major cutbacks at the state's 51 libraries.

A golden bracelet was unveiled to the public Tuesday at Iolani Palace on the eve of Queen Liliuokalani's birthday.

The Kaua‘i County Council last week took another step forward and is now on the verge of passing a bill that would ban the use of plastic bags at retail stores’ checkout counters

New! Nonprofit library in the works. You can help!

Since 2009, All Hawaii News has chronicled the day's top state and local government and political news in a hand‐curated collection organized by island. The result is more than 4,000 pages of daily news synopses from the state's top media sources, complete with links to the original stories. With each page containing some 20 entries, that totals 80,000 or more entries. Because of the ever‐changing media landscape, with media outlets frequently changing ownership, many of the older links are no longer live. But the descriptions of the articles nonetheless provide a valuable history of daily news items as they occurred and a great starting point for those researching the state's recent history. This body of work needs to be solidified, updated and shared. It's currently housed on its original Blogger site (www.allhawaiinews.com), where search functions are rudimentary at best. A nonprofit domain, allhawaiinews.org, has been secured for expansion to the news library.
