🚨BREAKING travel news for stargazers and national park lovers✨ The Death Valley Dark Sky Festival is happening right now… and it’s one of the most incredible times of year to experience the park after dark. Death Valley is officially designated as an International Dark Sky Park, which means it has some of the lowest light pollution levels in North America — creating unreal conditions for seeing the Milky Way, constellations, meteor activity, and deep space objects with the naked eye. If you’re visiting during the festival weekend (or planning a future trip), here are three of the most accessible stargazing locations to prioritize: • Badwater Basin — The lowest point in North America, with vast open salt flats that create surreal foreground reflections when water is present. • Dante’s View — A high-elevation overlook where you can see the entire valley floor under a blanket of stars. • Harmony Borax Works — Historic structures + desert silhouettes make this one of the most photogenic astro locations in the park. Events during the Dark Sky Festival often include ranger talks, telescope viewing stations, astrophotography education, and guided night experiences — making it ideal whether you’re a beginner or seasoned photographer. If seeing the night sky like this is on your bucket list…this weekend is the time to go. Comment DEATH VALLEY and I’ll send you my Top 10 Photo Guide — including sunrise, sunset, and night sky photography locations inside the park. Save this for trip planning — and follow along if national parks and dark sky travel are your thing. I visit parks year-round and share real-time conditions, photography locations, and travel guides. #DeathValleyNationalPark #DarkSkyFestival #StargazingCalifornia #NightSkyPhotography #AstroPhotography

In a recent statement, Speaker Mike Johnson expressed skepticism about the integrity of elections, citing instances where Republican candidates’ leads diminished as ballots were counted. Johnson admitted, “Can I prove that? No,” yet suggested a belief in conspiracies akin to “flat earthers” and “moonwalk denialists.” This rhetoric echoes a broader trend among some Republicans, fueled by President Trump’s claims, which has significantly eroded trust in the electoral process. After the 2020 election, Gallup reported a drop in Republicans’ confidence in election accuracy from 44% to 28%. Additionally, Republican disapproval of the January 6th insurrection fell from 51% to 30% over time. Such narratives may offer short-term political gains but risk long-term damage to democratic principles by undermining the concept of elections and the consent of the governed. #ElectionIntegrity #DemocracyAtRisk #MikeJohnson #ConspiracyTheories #Election2020 #January6th #TrustInElections #RepublicanParty #PoliticalAccountability #GallupPoll #DemocracyMatters — Welcome to the “Big Foot” era of American politics — where conspiracies are true, and just because you believe it makes it true, according to reasoning by Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans who refuse to believe that Republicans could possible lose an election. This sort of thing might get the Republican Party power in the short term, but in the long term, it destroys democracy. #news #mikejohnson #republicans #trump #politics Follow @katyturreports for more.
