Which star shines brightest in the evening? What is happening on the sun? Who discovers the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia or the Pleiades? Many people have never consciously seen the Milky Way and only know Saturn's rings from advertising.

The site near Braunlage in the heart of the Harz mountains, offers excellent viewing conditions: Altitude 710 m above sea level, low haze air and absolute darkness away from the congested areas.

St. Pete/Clearwater's beach was recently named the best beach in the USA again and is also known as the fifth best beach in the world! St. Pete/Clearwater beaches are not only a great place to soak up the Florida sun during the day, they also have their charms at night! Due to the fact that many of the beaches in the region are located in very sparsely populated areas and are very natural, the light emission is also very low. The result is a beautiful view of the starlit night sky over the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous beach resorts and hotels line the coast of Clearwater; such as Stephard's Beach Resort, from which you can watch the starry sky at its best.
