Clear, steady skies: the Andromeda Galaxy and the Great Square of Pegasus climb in the east.
Why the Boa Vista sky is different
Boa Vista has almost no artificial light: one of the darkest skies in the Atlantic. At 16° north you see the northern sky plus a band of southern sky that never rises from Europe. With our professional telescope we show the Moon, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons and the naked-eye Milky Way, when they are visible.
