  • Yosemite's vast acreage and remote location protect some of the darkest night skies in the country. Astronomers, photographers and city dwellers flock to the park to take advantage of this unique opportunity to view planets, stars, and galaxies. For an audio described version of this video, go to • Yosemite Nature Notes ... .

    Our world would be a very different place if every child was exposed to this kind of experience before they were conditioned to believe they are merely competitors in a consumer culture. We who know Yosemite and its "timeless" beauty have been given a very special gift: a sense of wonder and of belonging to something far greater than our individual limitations.

    You would not believe how badly I would like to go to a desert, or a national park like this just to see the stars.

    This remains one of my all time favourite UA-cam clips. Even after all this time. Stunning.

    Alright ,
    I think I've got the best Night Sky story ever
    Was camping Yosemite back when my first Son was 4 or 5
    And as the night got darker . He started to become frightened .
    So I pointed out the light from the stars and sead .
    " See how close they are . Because we're so far up in the mountains ."
    And my Son SO , Starstruck sead to me ...
    " WOW ! Dad can we get one ? "
    As with every conviction of a five year old boy .
    Who hasn't seen the stars that close before .
    WELL ! His opptamisum could not be denied .
    So I flipped him up on my shoulders .
    And RAN up the near by hill to get one of those stars .
    Thank you Lance , for showing me the stars so close .
    I'm sorry we did not reach one that night .
    And now you're so far away .

      Maybe you two did each get a star--they reside in your heart where you can't see them, but you sure can feel them--you and Lance.

    I love this video! Yosemite is the inspiration for so many people's love and joy. A walk through Curry Village and a stroll through the meadows will give you the biggest smile you've ever had.
    Living 2 hours away from Yosemite (the best place in the world) makes me feel very special. :)

    When I see videos like this, I think..."We're nothing". But not in a bad way at all. We are important, yes. But so is everything...here and out there. I can't explain it. Just beautiful. Absolutely jaw dropingly amazing.

    Yosemite by night, just as beautiful as during the day. Who would have ever known! Have been to Yosemite several times now, but have never spent much time there well after dark to enjoy these stunning views of the night skies and the Milky Way.

    This is a very cool video. I have also seen something like this in a small town called Saguache, CO. I drive a semi and I picked up a load on a farm there, and when I woke up at 3:30 am to head off to California, I was amazed because I am a city dweller. I wanted to stay there another night to watch it, but I had to leave. I want to go back so bad that it's not even close to funny.
