Sunset on Maui is different every time, seen here at 10,023' "Science City" in the later stages just before and after the sun passes below the horizon.

More information:

Haleakala High Altitude Observatory was erected in 1958 due to the optimal viewing conditions the shield volcano possesses, where a near-absence of light pollution, as well as the 10, 023 foot high-altitude air, render it one of the most superb and valuable planetariums in the world. Comprised of 18 acres near the summit, “Science City” is made up of several facilities, including Pan-STARRS, Faulkes Telescope North, the TLRS-4 Laser Ranging System, the Zodiacal Light Observatory, the Maui Space Surveillance Complex, and the Mees Solar Observatory.
