Dark-Sky Astro-Tourism

Cultivating International Partnerships in Dark-Sky Astro-Tourism and Public Outreach

Dark Sky Astro Tourism

This program is a pilot network of international partners who will develop night sky observing programs to show the wonders of the “Dark Sky” to “Astro-Tourists” and the general public. The program intent is to foster site-based programs, where people can experience – and begin to understand – the dark night sky. It will showcase the cycling of matter from clouds to stars and back that characterizes “galactic ecosystems”

This project is supported by a SEED grant from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
SEED was made possible by a generous gift to the ASP and by funds from the US Herschel and Planck teams.
