When the sun goes down in Death Valley, there's over 100 miles with no light pollution. For filmmaker/photographer Harun Mehmedinović, that makes it the perfect place for seeing the night sky.

We were there back on Nov 4th 2021 while it was a new moon. Darkest time of the month and you could literally see EVERYTHING. You could see the milky way clear as day.

This "... Immense Darkness" ... isn't "dark", at all. The Universe is Lit!! Trillions upon trillions of Stars ... Suns, are forever saturating the Ether with Light.

This video made me really emotional. Stargazing was a significant part of my childhood, one that is hard to share with my kids with light pollution and hazy skies. The ability to connect to the night sky is precious. Thank you for this video ❤️ I'd also recommend the book The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod- Weinstein.

I love stargazing so much! I grew up in rural Texas from elementary school through high school and never realized how special it is to be able to go outside and just look at the night sky. I took it for granted and now I want to be out in the dark as often as I can. If you can find a truly dark sky (Bortle scale 1 or 2), it'll blow your mind! Like this gentleman in the video said, it forces you to stare up, daydream, meditate, and soak it all in. Very special experience under the stars!

i remember many years ago when i was a child i look up in front of my house, i saw many stars grazing, but nowadays after big buildings has been built around my house no grazing stars are visible. i remember there wea a star formation like a kite, its very tranquil to watch it.

I have been lucky enough to grow up in an area with little light pollution, it gets worse every year, but I can still see the milky way and lots of other stars that most can’t. I can go to the top of a hill just outside of town (population 150) and it is magical! I also enjoy the night sky in the local cemetery at night. Peaceful!!!! 4 generations of my ancestors are there.

This looks amazing! I plan on taking a trip in late Feb. I cant wait to photograph Death Valley at Night, but scared I wont be able to find my way back to my car if its so dark. Oh well. Ill figure it out

We were in Death Valley in February this year as part of a two month escape from our Canadian winter. By far the most amazing and moving part of our US trip. The night sky adds a whole other universe to the remarkable landscape of Death Valley. Your time lapse photos are outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

Im 40 years old and I have never seen the sky in all its glory. Thats very sad.

The host really interrupted the stargazing guy in the middle of something interesting just to make the crappiest joke I've ever heard 😂
-
Death Valley is one of the most beautiful and scary places. To be honest I never understood why those who throw burning man moved it to Nevada from Bakers Beach and not to Death Valley.
