Joshua Tree National Park is a special place for stargazing. Ranger Carey Goldstein invites you to look up…
Stories of the stars are among the oldest of all folktales, but still have just as much meaning today. As our night skies continue to be affected by excessive outdoor lighting and glare from cities, visitors are becoming more interested in looking at the stars as seen in a darker night sky of in a national park. Finding a place to gaze up at the stars can provide solace and enjoyment. Here at Joshua Tree National Park, there are many areas and opportunities for people to look at the stars and enjoy a view of galaxies, star clusters, planets, and constellations. A view of the Milky Way provides us with the chance to gaze up at our own galaxy and think about where we fit in this grand solar system. For information on the best viewing areas for looking at the night sky, stop in at any visitor center to talk to our staff, or call us at 760-367-5522. For Z107.7, this is Park Ranger Carey Goldstein, reminding you to enjoy the solace and wonder of your national park.
