12 Best Places to Stargaze Around the World
"Situated near Lake Tekapo in the center of New Zealand's South Island and roughly a three-hour drive from both Christchurch and Queenstown, this Dark Sky Reserve covers more than 1,600 square miles and is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. Several stargazing options are available through the Dark Sky Project, including guided trips to the University of Canterbury Mount John Observatory; for variety, visitors can join an astrophotography tour, take in views of the sky from the hot pools at Tekapo Springs, or enjoy stories and songs under the stars with Billy the Bard." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
