Stargazing

MoonlightMilkyWay%20(269x336) [Photos by Dennis Mammana] Borrego Springs is a designated Dark Sky Community, protecting the night sky from light pollution, so that everyone here can enjoy the glittering stars, moon, and planets.  Borrego Springs is 1 of only 2 official Dark Sky Communities in the entire world and the Anza-Borrego Desert in the top 10 stargazing locations in America.   The night sky here is simply amazing.  No where else have we ever been able to see so many stars so clearly.  Nature’s IMAX theater.

eclipseOur RV Park, The Springs at Borrego, has their own Astronomy Park and offers guests both the opportunity to view the night sky with their own telescopes or to take part in one of their special scheduled star parties.  The Star party involves dinner, drinks and presentations by well-known astronomers such as Dennis Mammana and John Mosley.  Unfortunately, we will leave before the next party scheduled on January 23.
