Stargazing in Uluru, Australia

Uluru, in the heart of the Australian Outback at 25.3°S, sits under some of the darkest, clearest skies on the continent — Bortle 1–2 conditions with the iconic monolith as a foreground. The extreme remoteness of the Red Centre means there is essentially no light pollution for hundreds of kilometres, and the arid desert air delivers superb transparency and over 300 clear nights a year. The southern Milky Way arches overhead in spectacular fashion, with the Magellanic Clouds, the galactic core, and the Emu in the Sky — a dark-cloud constellation central to Indigenous Australian astronomy — all on display.
