Milky Way over Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, Portugal

Methodical observations of the night sky started with early civilisations, and astronomy, the oldest natural science that studies celestial objects and their phenomena, is still a modern source of fascination around our own ever-orbiting planet. That love of the night sky is what brings stargazers to Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, a site free from heavy light pollution.
