The most beautiful stargazing location on Earth 

I'm in the navy, literally the best part about being in the middle of the ocean is watching the shooting stars, breath taking and peaceful

I remember when hurricane Katrina hit Florida. We didn't have power for about a week. That was the first time I saw the sky full of stars. Good memories

I don't think I've ever wanted to see something more

I want to see this before I die tbh

I have seen the Milky Way a couple of times in Spain and it's so breathtaking. Me and my family didn't even realise the beauty within the sky, we witnessed 4 shooting stars on the same night and as we just stared we were talking about really deep and powerful things about life and where we are and it got soooo deep

All I want in my life is to be able to see the Milky way in its great glory...and I can just die right there, under the cool comfort of the beautiful stars

i can barely see 10 stars in my place

I recommend going to the UK... if your looking for dark clouds.

I used to see milkyway everyday when I was kid but I never new it now worth a lot.

Thank you my beautiful Universe for everything....

Looking at this 7 years later, I am so happy to have been apart of this video. Making it was so fun. We got to meet some interesting people while we were being recorded by the camera crew.

That's why I love living in New Zealand, no pollution of any sort, I just wish I had a bigger telescope to see out further

I soooo want to be able to stargaze sometime. I live in a big city so I can't see the starts well. But none of my family is interested in stargazing :(

I found My life long happy place on a summers night in August in north wales. After an amazing day, Lying on the roof of my car at the peak of one of the valleys wrapped in a thick duvet staring at the clearest night sky I have ever seen. Witnessing too many shooting stars to count, falling asleep with someone in my arms who until that time I never realised how much that person would mean to me. Our universe is beautiful x

My best view EVER of the Milky Way was while I was visiting the beautiful island of Grenada. Absolutely incredible, I couldn't tear my eyes away.

I was there last month at the Cherry Springs Star Party when they made this video. The two young ladies from the Weather Channel seemed very happy to be at the star party. They had little trouble recruiting a friend's teenage son to help them carry their equipment around for a day or two! :)

If you want to find a stargazing spot near where you live use Google Earth and try to look for open areas without trees and stuff like that away from human settlements and roads with artificial lighting or highways with a lot of traffic because car lights are also bad (use Google Street View to find out if the nearby road has artificial lighting or not). If you find a spot like that on top of a hill or a mountain that's also a plus because the view will be better. If you plan to go watch the Milky Way in the evening the Moon phase needs to be between the last quarter (last half Moon) and new Moon so the Moon won't be above horizon causing light pollution (last quarter Moon is fine since it will set hours before sunset, first quarter would still be in the sky hours after sunset) You can also download a stargazing app like SkyView on your phone to see in which direction is the Milky Way and where's the Moon relative to the Sun.

It would make me the happiest dad in the world to hear my son wanted to be an astronomer when he grows up!!!💯❤️

I suggest you to visit Nepal. Climb 4000 meters over Himalays and feel the sky full of stars.

Lucky to see the night sky in Antarctica it was a cold crisp clear New Year Night and it was the best post Christmas gift ever..only with a pair of good binoculars the stars filled every little spot on the relief!!!!!!!!! Amazing

What a joy to see children so excited about looking up at our wonderful sky. It is a shame that everyone can take advantage of such a site! What a great video. Thanks Blue Chalk and The Weather Channel.

wow i wanna see this i live in cali so ive never seen the milky way in person or this many stars cause of all the light pollution something about outer space just fascinates me

The Outback in Australia is amazing!

Watching this makes me feel extremely lucky to live in rural Idaho. When I was younger, I would gaze at the Milky Way for hours while laying on top of my dads horse trailer. Nothing else puts your ego in place quite like a clear night sky.

AZ is fantastic ti see the milky way. Super clear skies and a very dark environment in the deserts offer an unbroken view of the milky way. I have seen it many times, a glowing band of light. Sometimes if you are far enough from city lights you can have a shadow cast from the starlight. Its truly magical.

Love this mans vibe. Indiana jones hat on, telescope playboy open, third eye awake.

I recently planned a trip to Big Bend National park in Texas where it’s one of the best ten spots in the world to see the Milky Way !! I had been looking forward to it for weeks and weeks. Finally the day came and the entire day and night was CLOUDY!!! Not one star. 😔😔😔Luckily my wife is very optimistic and we made the best of the night. Grilled, had a few drinks, and enjoyed the true darkest night of our life. Still peaceful and beautiful

This is the only thing I wanna see and feel before I leave this Earth

The most amazing night sky I've ever seen was in Africa, on a riverbank outside of Segou, Mali. Truly breath-taking!

If there was no light pollution then we can stargaze everyday,anywhere

Thank you for this video, it's truly mesmerizing!

Isn't he the science guy from Jurassic Park?

Just started astrophotogrphy this summer and did not know how good Arizona sky’s are away from the city’s, lately lots of smoke from the fires in California

I camped in New Mexicos Jemez Mountains back in 1998. At night the stars enveloped the entire sky. The milky way was spilled all over the place and was actually a distraction. The sky was so bright it cast shadows as if it were daytime. Never before or since have I witnessed anything like it. Hale-Bopp comet was really cool, but that is gone. If you want to see the stars, take my word for it and make the trip. You won't be disappointed. Also if you've ever flown at night just look out and you'll see where there is an absence of ground light. Aim for the center of the darkness and check it out on the ground. The inland western USA is loaded with choice spots.

Damn you light pollution!!!

Excellent video!!

I one day wish I could go hiking up a mountain during the perfect weather and do some stargazing

As she said its More than amazing !!

Wow, beautiful.

This is truly beautiful

You need to get up over 10-12,000 feet to see amazing stars. The White mtns of California are great. I spent the night at 16,000 feet in Mexico one time- that was really something!

our cabin is only a few miles from cherry springs. Love to go out behind the cabin at night and just watch the sky at night. It's unreal. but even better at the state park.

Every child should watch the sky. The perception of reality that we get by realizing our tiny little spec of a dot among the immense universe is crucial to place not only our planet, but us as human beings. I think this alone could diminish the crime rate in the cities. Every child should be able to see through a telescope and through a microscope. The micro and the macro sense of our world gives us perspective. There are too many huge egos around.

Not mentioned on many lists, most likely because it's so remote, is the Steens Mountain Wilderness Area in far Eastern Oregon. Quoting- "Steens Mountain Wilderness, Oregon Even in years of low northern lights activity, the aurora borealis can be seen here. Why? The area claims the darkest nights in the Lower 48. The unpaved Steens Mountain Back Country Byway provides easy access to the hinterlands, but check road and weather conditions first: Some stretches may require four-wheel drive."

Never heard of this place, but as it's in PA, I can actually drive to it, and not miss much time from work...wait a minute...

I am definitely interested!

For people who live in Texas and can't travel anywhere much, just go to Waco Texas. I remember one time I was there and I forgot to bring my telescope and there was 100's of stars in the sky. And You could see a little bit of purple from the galactic arms of our galaxy. I recommend a good place that is dark, not alot of light around, and completely clear skys. But the best place in the world to go stargazing (You need to go to California for this) is Death Valley. Even though it is hot, it is really really good to see stars. not even light at all unless if I'm mistaken. Again, can't be anywhere where there is light or clouds because 1. Clouds will cover the stars and 2. the light will lighten up the clouds making the sky also lit and making it harder to see the stars.

Lake Powell on top of the house boat..... With the naked eye we saw the milky way cut across the sky. No external lights anywhere close.

In my neighbourhood I can see some easy constellations like Taurus, Cassiopeia and Orion (and a quite a some more). I'd love to go stargazing in a place with barely any pollution again ^-^

Dam I only live 44 minutes from here. Definitely gonna go check it out one of these weekends

Ft Davis, Texas is a spectacular place to view the stars, especially up in the Davis Mountain Resort. Due to the MacDonald Observatory there are light polution regulations in the area. It is so peaceful and the air is so clean, a great place to be

If you wanna see the most mesmerising stars in Australia, go visit Mt Baw Baw in Melbourne. You can see many shooting stars and even the Milky Way c: It’s because the sky is dark enough so you can basically see everything

When i was 11, i started to study in space stuff and i find this so beautiful

I remember sering milky eay 7 days in a row and it was in 2009 there was no power for a literal week because somethibg happened and it was sooo sool peaceful i used to sleep outside back then and it wad so cool to lay back and look at it for hours but i barely got to see any afyer that so 11 years sonce i saw the last one in my life pls i want a power out to a whole city so we could see it :,)

i had no clue i lived so close to a place where i could see stars like this! only 3 hours. i'm making the trip very soon.

I'm from India and it's highly light polluted...the place near which is slightly less light polluted is around 4 hrs..... seriously I'm jealous of you guys😢😢😢😢

One of the best places to star gaze is Taumarunui near Mount Ruhapehu about 1000 m elevation on North Island , New Zealand, Summer time in the Southern hemisphere brings the earth's tilt that no Northern hemisphere sites can match - the milky way stars dance in the celestial dust

been to cherry springs twice and it was best location I've seen the milky way yet, better than death valley

looks so amazing omg. i just see blackness here with some stars here and there...

Wow!

I live 20 minutes from there

I remember this video when I was recorded for it!

i love space :P

"Most people's knowledge of the sky is pretty much gone..." Hence, the flat-earth cavemen.

I would love to see that many stars at night.

I’m going to Cherry Springs State Park in a week or two, can’t wait to see the Milky Way for the first time!

Wasn't this the guy who created Jurassic Park?

I went to this lake in Canada and at night i went out in my tent to get some air and to watch the stars. I saw 7 shooting stars. I wanna see it again

Saddle Road on the Big Island of Hawaii, after midnight on a Sunday night - the most amazing sight I have ever seen.

Beach. North Shore PEI. Watched the sun and moon at the same time like the face on those old clocks. Amazing. Of course when I swam in the ocean there, in May, they thought I was crazy with Ice Bergs going by. I was fine until I took a shower at the Cabin. I passed out in the shower when they neglected to put the breakers in for the water heater. Fun times though.

Nothing against Cherry Springs, PA. -- but NO PLACE in the Northern hemisphere can the "Most Beautiful Stargazing Location on Earth" -- simply don't have the assets. Southern Hemisphere has the Milky Way galactic center as well as two dwarf galaxies in the local group visible with the naked eye (the Magellenic Clouds). In general, light pollution down south MUCH better as well. Really impressed by their enthusiasm and ability to turn out a critical mass of people. We need more of that....

wanna visit this place one day

Almost twenty years ago, I took my youngest son to Space Camp in Huntsville, Al where I flew a space shuttle simulator and learned that a math degree added to my education would qualify me to be a pilot astronaut. After some additional investigation, I learned that an "over fifty" astronaut's purpose was to provide measurement of advanced bone marrow deterioration, which is accelerated in space and which represents the primary barrier to human endurance in space travel. I passed on the attempt but I still fly for fun. Astronomy turned out to be the book I could not put down. It is fascinating to watch the reaction of people when they see, for instance, a star cluster through a telescope. One night, out of a group of twenty cub scouts, a thirty five year old dad was almost dancing with excitement. I highly recommend the hobby to all. You never know who it will touch.

It's cloudy up here in Clovis new Mexico

I've always wanted see the milky way in the sky ive still never seen it but I might just have the chance when I go camping in less than two weeks! I live in Scotland the place I'm going to is a miles away from any city so I'm hoping I'll see it and I'm hoping it'll be clear

I want to see this before i die :(

If you go to Big Island, Hawaii, you’ll be able to see the Milky Way.

this guy is so like comfortabble with his life or he hides it very well but when i listen to his voice i start thinking that his happy thaat he's alive

All I would love to do one night is drive a truck here and lay in the back looking up and just peer through the universe and be overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of our galaxy.

clear right now and looking good for tonight and i think tomorrow (Saturday).

thank god I live only 3 hours away. Also, are the light restrictions the same for the professional area and public area?

Live in LA, sometimes I can see the moon

The milky way literally looks like spilled milk with cinnamon powder on top with tiny sprinkles

Iam not abel to see a milkeyway but i see clearly stars not too much but sufficiently

I intend on going here this here

Oh yes tonights the night !

I wish I could see it with my own eyes before I die.. 😢

Then there is Rodeo, New Mexico...but not during Monsoon Season (July/Aug.) Rodeo, NM and Portal, AZ (next village over) are home to tens if not hundreds of astronomers, and home to three astronomical communities.

This place is disappointing when there are many darker skies elsewhere on planet Earth.

I hear that the skies in N. Korea are very dark. The NORKS should sponsor a star party. /s

The June star festival in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah was great.

This is on my to do list... to take one vacation to one spot with amazing star gazing abilities. low light pollution, and an open space that keeps most of the trees pretty far from the spot... then just need some ideal weather and that's all I need. Sadly, I live in the U.P. of Michigan and we have less then 6 days on average every year of clear sky. Otherwise more often then not it is partly cloudy or SNOWING! :(

wish i could see something like this. im fukkin jelly

where is it?

You dont know how much i want to stargazing

Cherry Springs State Park in Potter County, Pennsylvania

I live in PA.I have no idea where this place is. Apparently they want to keep this place a secret.

Believe me this is life....

Holiday dreams.

the computers are making our lives so stressful! no time to smell the flowers!
