Colorado’s Mesa Verde National Park has been designated an International Dark Sky Park, making it the 100th location to receive this honor.
Designation as a Dark Sky Park is a recognition from both the National Park Service and the International Dark-Sky Association of a park’s high-quality views of night skies. This recognition helps the park instigate new astronomy education resources for visitors and improves the quality of its already grand night sky viewing.
“This recognition is the result of great work accomplished by employees of Mesa Verde National Park and the Mesa Verde Museum Association,” Park Superintendent Cliff Spencer said in a statement. “National parks are some of the best places in America to see a breathtaking array of stars, planets, and neighboring galaxies.”
