The Oasis at Death Valley Night Skies

Death Valley National Park is designated as a "Gold Tier" Dark Sky Park, the highest level awarded. It's the largest Dark Sky National Park in the United States and The Oasis at Death Valley is the ideal base camp. Retreat to the oasis within the park and enjoy the show at night.

I once cross country skied into Skoki Lodge at 7,000 ft. in Banff National Park. It was the first time I truly saw our galaxy. BREATHTAKING.

My plans when I go there and stargaze: 1. Get a good powerful telescope that can see very far 2. Find a good spot 3. Make sure there isn't a cloud where I wanna look at in the sky My goals when I get there: 1. Spot the Andromeda galaxy 2. Find the Magellanic clouds and spot them 3. Try to look at the center of the Galaxy and see what is there 4. Find the Moon and look on its surface 5. Find Saturn 6. Find Jupiter 7. Try to find the ISS. I just love astronomy and I can't wait. 6/4/2021 Edit: haven't been yet lmfao 12/21/2022 Edit: a lot has happened since then. The only thing I'm in the process of doing is getting a good telescope. I have my dad's telescope that he gave to me because he never uses, but I need one that is more powerful than what he gave me. So I'm currently waiting until I move again which will be about 1 to 2 months, then I can get a driver's license, and then I'll get a job and start making my own money. I know that the magellanic clouds are only visible in the southern hemisphere, so goal 2 will have to wait atleast until I can go to the southern hemisphere. New goal. 8. Observe stars and planets, and acquire my own observations and data. (Things like parallax measurements, apparent magnitude, so on.)

[@Aleex1017]

I just wanna smoke a good one there

[@ir8free]

The Magellanic Clouds are most visible the Southern Hemisphere. Goals #4-7 can still be done in your backyard with light pollution.

[@joejohnson2447]

I’ll always remember living in 29 palms ca and looking up at the night sky through night vision goggles and being astounded by the sheer number of stars!

[@rockmusicvideoreviewer896]

did u ever try binoculars or a telescope?

[@domingodeanda233]

So beautiful!

[@diane4549]

I use to live at the Furnace Creek Ranch. My late husband was the Master Electrician there, and did the wiring in the cafeteria and up at the Furnace Creek Inn. I remember sitting outside my trailer and looking up at the night sky. Seeing is truly believing. I met the late Ken Curtis from Gunsmoke there, and my late husband met the Son's of the Pioneers there also. It really is a different way of life. How many people do you know who can say they played golf on the world's lowest golf course?

[@Arborpress]

I've heard that time lapse videos and photographs of these skies are usually enhanced to make it look more vivid and cooler. I want to see visit places like this but I'm skeptical it won't be anywhere near as cool. Yes there will be more stars to see than closer to cities, but just won't look as great as in the photographs :/

[@Aleex1017]

I really wanna go there this year and I'm going to f it, and I doubt it will look any different, already will be something to see with your bare eye

[@Baseball_3377]

@Arborpress trust me, dark sky parks like death valley when the milky way is over head is incredible, almost unbelievable to the naked eye alone

[@imastatistic8347]

I used to think this as well and while they are touched up, seeing the actual milky way for yourself is absolutely breathtaking. Its better than any photograph may look. You can sit and look up for hours and just be mesmerized. Do it you won’t regret it

[@twan3317]

Photographs are indeed very different. Seeing it with your own eyes is 10 times better

What amazes me is the fact that until recently humanity thought the universe was passing us by each night, when it was really us that was doing the passing by.

does the resort really leave its lights blasting at night like that , kind of think that kills the moment no? i understand you can't turn out all the lights and it be pitch dark but why not incorporate some of those red lights on the property

He said he can only see thousands of stars in the night sky at Death Valley, there are much much more than that.

[@Ehmangaming]

he didn't say only

[@TheKaurK]

I think what you can see with your eyes unaided is a number likely in thousands. Plenty of stars are too dim to be seen without telescopes and long exposure photos.

[@goatgroup1766]

There aren’t much more than that you can see about 5000 stars with your naked eye in low/no light pollution area

[@foodculture6355]

I am assuming Furnace Creek is some overrated lodge that costs lots of money? I would rather stargaze from my car without paying money.
