Dark Skies A Practical Guide to Astrotourism

Dark Skies A Practical Guide to Astrotourism by Valerie Stimac, published by Lonely Planet in 2019.

Witnessing the sweep of the Milky Way, the remains of comets burning up in our atmosphere, or the shimmering aurora, we better understand the universe and our place in it. Lonely Planet's Dark Skies, the first world's guide to astrotourism, can help you experience all of this and more first-hand. Meticulously researched by dark sky expert Valerie Stimac, this comprehensive companion includes guides to 35 dark-sky sites and national parks, where to see the aurora, the next decade of total solar eclipses and how to view rocket launches, plus the lowdown on commercial space flight, observatories and meteor showers.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves animals and the natural world.
