Stargazing at Joshua Tree

Description
Adventure awaits under the desert sky.
Your two-hour stargazing experience begins in Joshua Tree, CA during astronomical twilight as the last rays of the sun fade completely behind the horizon and the sky settles into a dark, inky blue studded with thousands of brilliant stars. Relax in your own mini outdoor living room, complete with chairs, blankets, and giant outdoor pillows. Treat yourself to an indulgent snack and cool bottled water while you settle in and get comfortable.
Take a journey with your Sky Guide across the entire night sky.
Listen to millennia-old stories from around the world. Learn about the science of uncovering the mysteries of our universe. See the awe-inspiring celestial phenomena that have kept us asking questions for thousands of years. Special requests? Want to revisit a planet or star cluster? Just ask. If it’s in season, your Sky Guide will help you find it.
What you’ll see
The night sky constantly shifts as the Earth orbits the Sun, which means each stargazing experience is unique. But no matter the season, you can expect to see beautiful constellations, star clusters, and our nearest galaxies.dio t
