Welcome to Nevada: home to some of the darkest skies in the country (and truly stellar stargazing).
Most of the Silver Stateβs population is concentrated in two metropolitan areas. That means light pollution is scarce and dark sky oases are abundant, especially on the outskirts of Ely, Tonopah, and Gerlach. Pack a telescope, or feel free to leave it behindβyou donβt need equipment to see our most dazzling natural light show.
