Out-of-this-world stargazing on public lands🌠

DOI Header - Dark Green


After the sun goes down, the skies above America's public lands come alive

 

Some of the last harbors of dark skies, public lands provide unspoiled views of the stars glittering above. While fewer than 500 stars may be visible at night in urban areas because of light pollution, you can see up to 15,000 stars on some public lands. Whether you're an astronomy expert or a lover of night skies, public lands offer up some of the best opportunities to see extraordinary natural lightscapes. 

 

Celebrate International Dark Sky Week with 16 amazing public lands for stargazing and tips for viewing the Milky Way.
