Discover the Universe at Death Valley NP

Death Valley National Park is renowned for having some of the darkest night skies in the world. Far from city lights, the stars shine with unparalleled brilliance, offering visitors a chance to connect deeply with the cosmos. However, there is limited access to safe and accessible locations to fully experience this natural wonder.

Why This Project Matters

Preserving Dark Skies: Light pollution affects wildlife and diminishes our ability to see the stars. By creating a designated viewing area, we are helping to protect the natural darkness of Death Valley’s skies.

Educational Opportunities: The viewing area will serve as an outdoor “classroom,” with resources and programs that educate visitors about astronomy and the importance of dark sky conservation.

Accessibility: Designed with inclusivity in mind, the site will feature accessible pathways and facilities to accommodate visitors of all abilities.
