]]>The Atacama Desert, Chile
The driest place on Earth besides the North and South Poles, The Atacama Desert is amazing for stargazing due to high altitude, few clouds, light pollution, and near-zero radio interference. The views of the most famous constellations of the Southern Hemisphere sky are crystal-clear which means you’ll get a look at the Tarantula Nebula, the Fornax Cluster of galaxies, the Southern Cross, and the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park, Japan
Located in Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture, Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park was the first place in Japan to receive the International Dark Sky Places accreditation. While there you’ll be able to see up to 84 of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union.

Located in Mauna Kea, Hawaii is the Mauna Kea Observatory, the largest research observatory in the world. It’s home to thirteen of the world’s largest and most powerful telescopes and you can see many of the Northern Hemisphere’s celestial wonders like the Milky Way, the bands of Jupiter, and the constellations of Ursa Major and Orion. Because Mauna Kea is so close to the equator, you can see around 80 percent of Southern Hemisphere stars there as well.

]]>Atacama Desert, Chile
Top of the list has to be the Atacama Desert in Chile. As the driest desert in the world and its high altitude, this is known to be one of the best places in the world to witness a night sky bursting with stars. The sky is so clear that the European Southern Observatory has established two observatories here.
Mauna Kea, Hawaii
Mauna Kea is the highest point in Hawaii. Standing atop a dormant volcano at 9000 feet, it is the perfect spot to not only see the stars and our galaxy but to feel as though you are actually in the sky.
Brecon Beacons, Wales
Established as Britain’s first International Dark Sky Reserve, Brecon Beacons is a comfortable and refreshing location to appreciate the fresh sky’s stars and constellations.
