Whether it's in Hawaii, the Australian outback, or Brandenburg's Gülpe: many places around the world are great for stargazing.

These areas are virtually free of artificial lights and far from the cities, allowing you to see the night sky in its purest form and your truest self.

While romantics and astronomers are keen to see the night sky, the pollution and artificial lights of the cities obscure the beauty of the dark night itself.

Fortunately, there is still a place in the world where you can feel the splendor of the Milky Way spanning overhead, just 80 kilometers from Berlin.

1. Gülpe in Brandenburg

Although Gülpe, a village in Brandenburg, is only 80 kilometers from Berlin, the area is so sparsely populated that there is almost no artificial light at night.

Andreas Hänel, head of the planetarium in Osnabrück, identifies it as the darkest place in Germany.

In his spare time, he drives across Germany to track the astronomical landscape.

In the biosphere reserve Rhön, he was struck by the beauty of the night sky there.

If you don't have a telescope: Not far from Gülpe, you can observe the German night sky from the Babelsberg Observatory in Potsdam, where the former Berlin Observatory was moved in 1913.

100 year ago Berlin was already too bright at night to see the night sky clearly.

Gülpe in Brandenburg, where amateur astronomers regularly set up telescopes and cameras in front of the night sky.

2. Mauna Kea Observatory, Hawaii

About 300 clear days a year make for spectacular starry skies: it is in a sparsely populated area of southern Portugal and is one of the best destinations in Europe for observing the sky.

The private observatory is close to the city of Portimão and offers a view of space through several advanced astronomical telescopes.

3. Private observatory on the southern coast of the Algarve

This is Africa's gateway to the universe and can be reached in three hours by car from Cape Town: on a plateau at an altitude of 1,800 meters, the huge dome of South Africa's largest astronomical telescope (SALT) rises.

Although tourists can visit the eleven-meter-tall telescope, it is only available to scientists for astronomical research.

However, several hotels in the neighboring village of Sutherland offer small telescopes.

4. Hawaii

There are many places on Earth that are suitable for stargazing, but many of them are in the middle of nowhere, far from busy areas. Only one place can be considered an exception - Hawaii.

Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island is an extinct volcano with an altitude of over 4,000 meters.

It is known for its clear weather, clean air, etc., and has good observation conditions.

As a result, many institutions have been attracted to build large telescopes there, creating a famous astronomical observation base. Currently, 13 telescopes from 12 institutions are located there, and a 30-meter-tall telescope (TMT) is also under construction.

The nearest airport is less than 30 km away, while the Pariña Observatory in the Atacama Desert of Chile is more than 130 km from the nearest airport.

Probably, everyone should have a star in their heart, either about their childhood.

Their dreams or their faith, and has appeared in our dreams countless times and have never left.
