The Atacama Desert in Chile is the best place to watch stars in the world.

On the west side of the Andes, about 30 miles from the Bolivian border, is the Atacama desert in Chile, which is simply a beautiful land. From here, go in any direction, and you can see all kinds of strange and amazing scenery in just one hour. Snow-capped volcanoes, crystal clear blue salt lakes, bright red and gorgeous rock canyons, scalding natural geysers and Atacama desert are all available. No wonder this rare scenic spot has become a popular tourist destination. Now, let's follow an article by Yahoo.com on March 4th and explore this magical place together.

From the open-air observatory on the roof of Alto Atacama Hotel in Atacama Desert, you can see sky full of stars shining in the desert night sky. This area has always attracted countless people who seek excitement and love nature. But in addition to its peculiar terrain, Atacama Desert is increasingly famous for its great natural charm. When the sun sets and the cold blows, Chile, a distant northern desert, becomes one of the best places to watch the stars in the world. This is why the picturesque Alto Atacama Hotel in San Pedro de Atacama Oasis Town will launch a unique night astronomical tour.

I am not an astrophysicist. Our guide Juan joked and pointed his emerald laser pointer at the soft glowing nebula in the dark. We know that it is a neighboring galaxy. But I want to show you something interesting.

He told us that Atacama desert is still the driest desert in the world, although there are many salt lakes and hot spring lakes. The local high latitude makes the next floor dry, and almost no light pollution makes it one of the best astronomical observation sites in the world. In fact, this area now has the largest and strongest observatory in the world.

Atacama Millimeter Wave/Submillimeter Wave Array (ALMA) has been in full operation since March 20 13. It is operated by 66 radio telescopes to explore the deepest part of our universe. According to the National Radio Observatory, ALMA can generate images of hidden areas in space with unprecedented clarity and sensitivity.

When we were resting on the luxurious lounge chair nearby, Juan put down the laser pointer and prepared Alto Atacama's own telescope. Although it is a far cry from ALMA, this device is really good, with a width of 16 inch and a height of almost 6 feet.

However, in this Amin sky, such equipment is almost unnecessary. As long as we look up at the sky, countless details can be clearly presented. These details can usually only be seen in the sunniest part of the North American night sky. The scenery that can only be observed in color-enhanced documentaries has unparalleled clarity here.

The clear Milky Way galaxy looks like the wallpaper pre-installed in Apple's computer, with purple and blue shining in the undulating valleys and peaks around it.

That's Jupiter. Cried Juan, making the sound of a wooden star. He turned his telescope to a distant planet and called me over. Two black lines pass through the middle of the sphere and look like marble, surrounded by three spots invisible to the naked eye. Those are moons of Jupiter.

When everyone else turned binoculars, I looked at the dark desert during the day. The Atacama desert was just another world. But at night, it presents more surprises, the landscape of the whole solar system.

The most attractive thing is that you don't need any fancy equipment to feel these wonders. The sky unfolds effortlessly in front of you, just like looking at an endless kaleidoscope.
