Tonopah Nevada advertises itself as the stargazing capital of the US, if you’re on budget.

I live on the California Nevada border not far from Tonopah. It is very dark here at night. Most visitors here are stunned by the millions of stars in our sky. It is even darker in the nearby 14,000 White Mountains where you can see the dim lights of Las Vegas 260 miles to the south.

3000.
