Stars Gazing Awesomeness!!!

We spent 2 nights in Brice canyon Camping just so we could attend this event.
One of my favorite things I did so far. Star gazing in Brice!
The park rangers set up 4 telescopes in a dark parking.
It is apparently one of the best, clearest spot to observe the night sky in America.

We saw a Galaxy, Saturn, a dying star, Mars, twin stars...

We saw with the naked eye, our milky way! It was so beautiful!
It made me feel so small and insignificant.

They taught us how to recognize the big and small dipper as well as other solar awesomeness.
I loved hearing the ancient legends about them from different cultures. 
One of my favorite was the Scorpion. 
Amelie and her cousin/buddy Co!
