Get away from the city's bright glow and head out to dark skies, where the Milky Way shines with countless stars overhead.

Dark Sky Finder helps you locate nearby dark skies to take a telescope, watch a meteor shower, or simply relax under the stars. See a light pollution map of North America, Europe, and Australia, along with dots that indicate good observing locations. Anyone can add a good observation site — for instance, a public park with no bright lights — and write a few words about it to help other people in the area looking for a dark location.
