Espacio – La Frontera Ultima
Wednesday, April 25th, 2007I went to San Pedro de Atacama for a couple of reasons, but I mainly went because I wanted to see what I believe to be the greatest star show on earth. When I was near Mt Hanang, Tanzania last June witnessing the best stars I had ever seen, I wondered about how much better it would be in Atacama Desert, Chile. Well I can report that San Pedro is an amazing place to see as much of the Universe as possible. I signed up for an evening at a local astronomer´s home where Allen and his wife have five telescopes and put on quite an informational feast. The stars in town are good, but nothing extraordinary. Their home is a few kilometers out and above town where it is very dark and the viewing is more than extraordinary.
