Putting Your Own Twinkle in the Stars

THIS ACTIVITY REQUIRES AN ADULT. Under the 2019 Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 136, it is illegal for minors to possess laser pointing devices. It is also illegal to intentionally focus, point, or shine a laser pointing device directly or indirectly into the eye or eyes of another person, or upon another person or animal, in such a manner as would reasonably be expected to annoy, harass, or alarm the person or animal.

CAUTION: AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. For a < 5mW laser, unintentional or accidental exposure to a direct or reflected beam is considered to have a low risk of eye injury because the human eye blink reflex is expected to limit exposure time to 0.25 seconds.
