stargaze

Nicole Carr and Simon Scott, from Astro Dog, a firm which runs stargazing, photography and education events, said people who were able to travel could use weather radar apps to find gaps in the cloud.

Cloudy skies have of course scuppered many a great night of stargazing.

Like all the rooms, it was also equipped with an outdoor fire pit and a comfortable cushion for stargazing.

Its most popular event — a full moon hike capped with yoga, a sound bath and stargazing — happens every month, timed to the moonrise, and often draws dozens of newcomers.

The project calls for 100 small cabins, two lodges, multiple pools, a stargazing area and an outdoor movie screen, plus a wastewater treatment plant that will process more than 13,000 gallons a day.
