The Night Sky

Why here

This is why the great observatories are here — a stargazing night in the Atacama is the best on earth.

A sky so dark the galaxy throws a shadow.
When to come
season
new moon for the darkest sky
time
late night, well after sunset
weather
clear, moonless
crowd
small guided astronomy groups

⊘ A full moon washes out the stars — check the lunar calendar, book an astronomy tour, and dress for a hard freeze standing still.
