Being under the desert Milky Way stars is an awe-inspiring and humbling experience. As you gaze up at the night sky, the darkness is pierced by thousands of tiny pinpricks of light, each one a distant sun or galaxy. The vastness and beauty of the stars above can leave you feeling insignificant, yet at the same time, connected to something larger than yourself. The quiet of the desert amplifies the experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the wonder of the cosmos. Under the desert stars, you can't help but feel a sense of peace and tranquility.
