Dark Sky Parks around the World

Warrumbungle National Park

Situated in the central west slopes of New South Wales is Australia’s only dark sky park, Warrumbungle. The

park has served as a dark sky park since July 2016. Its crystal-clear night skies and high altitude make it a natural,

educational, and astronomical heritage site in the southern half of the earth. Tourists can use Australia’s largest

optical telescope within the park boundaries to view the auroras(极光)，the Milky Way, and faint shooting stars.

Sark

Sark is a Channel Island near the coast of Normandy under the protection of the UK. It was the World’s First

Dark Sky Island set up in January 2011. Its historical and cultural blend attracts over 40,000 tourists annually. With

no motor vehicles and public lighting on the island, there is an exceptional view of the dark skies. A rich Milky Way

is visible in the dark night skies from the shores of the island.

Pic du Midi de Bigorre

Pic du Midi de Bigorre in France was designated as a dark sky park in December 2013 making it the second

largest dark sky park in the world. The park covers 3.112 square kilometers spread across the Pyrenees National Park

and UNESCO’s World Heritage site, Pyrenees-Mont Perdu. The park attracts over one hundred star watchers every

year. The Observatory Midi-Pyrenees, which was built in 1870, is one of the world’s highest museums at a height of

2,877 meters above sea level.

Ramon Crater is a unique 1,100-square-kilometer nature reserve located in the Negev Desert in Israel. In 2017,

the Ramon Crater became the first designated dark sky park in the Middle East. Its location, rough climate, and

forbidding landscape that are characteristic of the Negev have largely defeated historical attempts for human

settlement, making it a great place to view the night skies. Stargazers usually camp in the desert to have an
