Without a doubt, the Four Corners region boasts the darkest of skies. With little or no light pollution tainting our cosmos, stargazing is about as effortless as it gets. On a clear night, the Milky Way is visible from horizon to horizon, a spectacle seen in only a few select places in the country. June is a great month to catch four out of the five planets visible to the unaided eye. Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury all congregate in the morning sky, a sight not to be missed!
