The darkness above the state, particularly in its more remote regions, offers a remarkable view of celestial phenomena. This includes constellations, planets, and the Milky Way, often obscured by light pollution in more populated areas. The viewing experience is enhanced by low humidity and high altitude in many parts of the state.
The pristine quality of the celestial sphere above this state provides significant advantages for astronomical research, astrophotography, and tourism. Historically, indigenous populations relied on celestial navigation and incorporated astronomical knowledge into their cultures. Today, the dark conditions are recognized as a valuable resource for scientific study and recreational appreciation.
