## Caption

The best time to enjoy the night sky is usually at night. 

That just dawned on us. Who doesn’t love a starry night? That famous painting isn’t bad either. Alright, let’s get deep for a minute. When we look up at a dark night sky, we are essentially seeing the same sky that humans have looked upon generation after generation. Like a really long time. The same dark and starry sky has evoked countless inspiration, stories, art, and even music from cultures around the world. You might say it’s a timeless and boundless resource. Many national parks offer spectacular night sky views. Mostly at night. Have you ever been stargazing in a national park? How did it make you feel?
