More than a third of humanity can no longer see the Milky Way at night, and in North America the figure is closer to 80 percent — meaning most Americans have never actually seen the galaxy they live in. That loss happened gradually enough that most people never noticed, but the sky that humans navigated by, farmed by, and told stories about for the entire history of the species is still out there. And there are places you can stay where the night sky is either protected or so remote it has never been touched by light pollution — hotels and Airbnbs where guests make more memories after dark than during the day. Lying awake watching the aurora move over Finnish Lapland, counting shooting stars over Chile's Atacama Desert, or sitting on the wing deck of a converted 1956 cargo plane in Alaska while the Northern Lights dance overhead. The sky at these stays is not an amenity. It is the whole experience. 🌌 Tierra Atacama: Credit - Javier Mery, Morten Anderse #stargazing #milkyway #northernlights #luxurytravel #remotetravel
