EXCERPT //

Cherry Springs State Park offers magnificent and unobstructed views of the night sky and is believed to be the darkest place on the East Coast. The Milky Way and a blanket of stars are visible to visitors’ naked eyes, though binoculars and telescopes enhance the experience (planets, nebulae, galaxies...). Pro tips: The brighter the moon, the less visible other celestial objects; lower humidity and longer nights make for optimal viewing.
