	"story_summary" => "Conflicts in Syria, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mali push number of displaced people to more than 45 millionThe world is in the throes of its most serious refugee crisis for almost 20 years, as conflicts in Syria, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mali have forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes, the UN's refugee agency has said.In its global trends report (pdf), UNHCR said more than 45.1 million people were displaced last year, the largest number since 1994. This includes 15.4 million refugees, 937,000 asylum seekers, and 28.8 million internally displaced people (IDPs) – those forced to find refuge within the borders of their own countries."These truly are alarming numbers. They reflect individual suffering on a huge scale and they reflect the difficulties of the international community in preventing conflicts and promoting timely solutions for them," said António Guterres, UN high commissioner for refugees and head of UNHCR.The number of 28.8 million IDPs is the highest level in more than two decades, mainly because of the war in Syria. The three-year conflict, which has claimed 90,000 lives, has led to 4.25 million Syrians being internally displaced and more than 1.6 million refugees, concentrated in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Last week the UN launched its biggest appeal – $5bn (£3.2bn) – as it warned that half of Syria's population will need humanitarian aid by the end of the year.Globally, 7.6 million people fled their homes last year, of whom 1.1 million were refugees and 6.5 million internally displaced. This is equivalent to a new refugee or internally displaced person every 4.1 seconds.African countries have emerged as pioneers in addressing the problem of IDPs. In December, the Kampala convention, the world's first legally binding instrument to outline the obligations of governments to protect and assist IDPs, came into force.Signed, although not necessarily ratified, by 37 of the 53 members of the African Union, the convention binds governments to provide legal protection for the rights and wellbeing of those forced to flee within their countries because of conflict, violence, natural disasters or development projects.Under the convention, governments must gather data and identify IDPs to understand where they are and what they need, provide personal identification documents, trace families and help reunite them, and consult IDPs in decisions on their needs.Children under 18 comprise 46% of refugees. A record 21,300 asylum applications submitted during 2012 were from children unaccompanied or separated from their parents.Countries bearing the biggest burden of refugees tend to be in the developing world. Pakistan last year continued to host more refugees than any other country (1.6 million), followed by Iran (868,200) and Germany (589,700). Developing countries host 8.5 million refugees (81% of the world's total compared with 70% a decade ago).Afghanistan remains the largest source of refugees, a position it has held for 32 years. One in four refugees worldwide is Afghan, with 95% located in Pakistan or Iran. Somalia, another war-ravaged country, was the second-largest source of refugees in 2012, although the rate of outflow has slowed as the country has stabilised. Iraqis were the third-largest refugee group (746,700), followed by Syrians (471,400).As for solutions, voluntary repatriation provides the most durable response, followed by local integration and resettlement to a third country, although this option is open to few refugees.According to the report: "Voluntary repatriation is the durable solution for the largest number or refugees. It requires the commitment of the country of origin to protect and to reintegrate its own citizens back into their home communities."Over the past 10 years, 7.2 million refugees were repatriated, but only 836,500 were resettled. Last year, more than 500,000 were able to return home. The main countries of return were Afghanistan, Iraq, Ivory Coast and Syria. Most of the Afghans and Iraqis had been in exile for many years before their return. Of the repatriating Syrian and Ivorian refugees, most returned after only one or two years in exile, but with the prospects for continued violence in Syria and DRC, returns to these countries are likely to be poor.The world's four largest refugee camps are in Kenya, known collectively as Dadaab, home to about 500,000 refugees. Nyaragusu camp in Tanzania is the world's fifth-largest camp, home to 68,100 refugees, mainly from DRC.RefugeesInternally displaced peopleUnited NationsIvory CoastSyriaDemocratic Republic of the CongoMiddle East and North AfricaMaliAfricaMark Tranguardian.co.uk &copy; 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

	"story_summary" => "The sun, moon and stars have fascinated humankind since time immemorial. Aside from giving us a measure of time and geographical orientation, celestial bodies feed our imagination. Gazing into the night sky, we sense the vastness of the universe and mysteries beyond our comprehension. Stargazing is humbling, endlessly fascinating and hopelessly romantic. Before we lose our heads, there are a few important things to consider while reaching for the stars. NASA reportedly spent $2.1 billion to put the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit, which shows how bothersome the earth's atmosphere can be to an astronomer. The best stargazing locations[1] are generally the most remote, as light pollution seriously impedes a view of the night sky. Since humidity causes haze, a dry climate is also favorable. Pursuit of such surroundings will lead to some interesting corners of the globe. The Atacama Desert in Chile, the driest desert in the world, features isolation, an altitude of 16,404 feet and ALMA, the most expensive ground-based telescope. (The acronym stands for Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array and means "soul" in Spanish.) These characteristics combined give you a closer look at the stars than anywhere else on the planet. The Alqueva region in the south of Portugal is the first site in the world to receive the Starlight Tourism Destination certification; it has 286 clear nights a year and caters to astro tourists with a number of activities and services. At the Singita Grumeti Reserves in northern Tanzania, you can contemplate the Southern Cross with the local population of lions and hyenas. No matter where you land, be sure to look up. --Anja Mutić See More on Departures[2]: Stunning Sunrise Views[3] Asian Hotels With Captivating Views[4] Spectacular Hotel Rooftop Pools[5] Alqueva, Portugal<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/2" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> A genuine rarity on the densely populated European mainland, the region of Alqueva in the unspoiled Alentejo province of southern Portugal offers atmospheric conditions—minimal light pollution, clear skies—perfectly conducive to exploring the secrets of the night sky. The Alqueva Dark Sky Route offers a host of nocturnal activities: observing wildlife, horseback riding, wine tasting or dining on the lakeshore. Find telescopes placed at key locations along the route and expert guides who are available for advice and information. Experienced observers will be able to spot deep-sky objects like galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Relax in one of eight spacious rooms at the Monte Alerta (from $115; 351-966-768-307; <a href="http://montealerta.pt" target="_hplink">montealerta.pt</a>), a family-run accommodation overlooking the medieval town of Monsaraz.Atacama Desert, Chile<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/3" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Bone-dry, frighteningly remote and at a mind-numbingly high altitude, the Atacama Desert of northern Chile is a dream destination for serious stargazers. The desert has optimal conditions for exploring the astronomical highlights of the southern skies. The newly inaugurated ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array) telescope, situated at 16,404 feet above sea level, promises unprecedented views of the cosmos, like the birth of stars, infant galaxies and planets circling distant suns. Atacama’s intense terrain is not for the faint of heart; a visit to ALMA requires health screenings to ensure one can endure the altitude. Among the top places to stay is Explora’s Hotel de Larache (all-inclusive three-night program, from $1,980; 866-750-6699; <a href="http://explora.com" target="_hplink">explora.com</a>), a remote lodge with its own observatory featuring one of the largest aficionado-level telescopes in Chile.Australian Outback<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/4" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Australia’s sacred landmark of Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is one of the island continent’s most remarkable sights, known for changing colors throughout the day. The giant sandstone formation takes on a glowing red at sunset, giving a dramatic finale to the day as the southern night sky unfolds across the ocher desert landscape. During an evening of dining under the stars, the Sounds of Silence experience at Ayers Rock Resort (from $185; <a href="http://ayersrockresort.com.au" target="_hplink">ayersrockresort.com.au</a>) decodes myriad stars visible through the clear atmosphere. Meanwhile, guests enjoy fine wine and innovative cuisine highlighting native ingredients like crocodile and quandong (a local wild peach). The eco-sensitive Longitude 131° (from $2,262 for a two-night minimum, including meals; 61-8/8957-7131; <a href="http://longitude131.com.au" target="_hplink">longitude131.com.au</a>) offers its guests exclusive views of sunrise and sunset over Uluru.Namib Desert, Namibia<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/5" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Ninety miles from the nearest town in the dramatic landscape of Namibia’s desert, an absolute silence reigns at Africa’s first International Dark Sky Reserve (IDSR). The winter months (April to September) provide the clearest skies, with darkness descending at 6 p.m. to reveal a spectacle of star clusters and galaxies, as well as a clear view of the Southern Cross and Centaurus constellations. Summer highlights include views of 47 Tucanae, a multibillion-year-old cluster containing more than a million stars. At andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge (from $535; 888-882-3742; <a href="http://andbeyond.com" target="_hplink">andbeyond.com</a>) in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, guests join resident astronomers at the state-of-the-art observatory, complete with a Meade LX200R 12-inch telescope. Each stone-and-glass desert villa features a large skylight above the bed for all-night stargazing.Jasper National Park, Canada<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/6" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Home to the largest dark-sky preserve in the world, at 4,335 square miles, light-pollution-free Jasper National Park in southwestern Canada offers easy access to stargazing sites via a network of rugged backcountry roads and trails that lead through mountainous terrain. But due to the longer days in spring and summer months, the ideal season to visit is October through March for a chance to witness the magic of the Northern Lights. The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge (from $185; 780-852-3301; <a href="http://fairmont.com/jasper" target="_hplink">fairmont.com/jasper</a>) has an offer well-suited to experienced and novice stargazers alike: Their two-night weekend astronomy package includes a luxe room, both a group and a private dark-sky tour, telescope instruction and a portable take-home telescope.Koh Kood Island, Thailand<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/7" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Close to the Cambodian border, around 200 miles east of bustling Bangkok, the island of Koh Kood is home to rain forests and sleepy fishing villages. Its sparse population and relative remoteness mean little light pollution, which results in successful stargazing. Guests at the Soneva Kiri Resort (from $760; 66-0-3961-9800; <a href="http://soneva.com" target="_hplink">soneva.com</a>) can make the most of its favorable latitudinal location—more constellations come into view closer to the equator—using the high-tech telescope in the resort’s own observatory and the expertise of resident astronomer Dr. Parag Mahajani. The telescope has a database of more than 40,000 celestial objects, which can be zoomed in on in a matter of seconds. Legendary moon walker Buzz Aldrin visited the observatory in 2012 to share his unique experience with space travel.Maui<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/8" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Eye-popping natural beauty, stellar cuisine and a dizzying range of outings and activities are just part of Maui’s all-encompassing appeal. No surprise then that some of the best stargazing in the world also happens here. “On Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii are some of the largest astronomical observatories on earth,” confirms Eddie Mahoney, NASA solar system ambassador and director of astronomy at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa ($299; 808-661-1234; <a href="http://maui.hyatt.com" target="_hplink">maui.hyatt.com</a>). “The gentle trade winds provide a smooth laminar airflow with no industrial pollution for crystal-clear viewing. Being just 20 degrees north of the equator allows us a view of 80 of the 88 constellations!” See for yourself using the hotel’s state-of the-art telescope on the rooftop of a nine-story tower.Singita Grumeti Reserves, Tanzania<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/9" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> The untouched wilderness of the Singita Grumeti Reserves in northern Tanzania is home to a well-established resident game population including zebras, gazelles, elephants, lions and cheetahs. Travelers with Singita Explore (from $1,950; 212-967-5895; <a href="http://singita.com" target="_hplink">singita.com</a>) spend the night with mere canvas separating them from the bush and with nearly every imaginable creature comfort at hand. Swarovski spotting scopes and knowledgeable guides will help you catch sight of the large and small Magellanic Clouds, visible only in the Southern Hemisphere.Turks & Caicos<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/1" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> As night falls on these Caribbean islands, the astounding daytime views—a turquoise Atlantic lapping fine-sand alabaster beaches—are gradually replaced by an equally tranquilizing celestial spectacle. “Amanyara offers a spectacular view of the night sky unencumbered by lights, buildings or mountains that may otherwise disrupt the view,” explains Lindsay Mensen, the resident naturalist at Amanyara (from $1,300; 649-941-8133; <a href="http://amanresorts.com" target="_hplink">amanresorts.com</a>), a secluded resort on Providenciales Island. During the stargazing experience, which can be arranged privately or in a group for sky events like meteor showers, guests learn more about the constellations, take a closer look at the planets of the solar system and explore the eerie crater surface of our nearest neighbor, the moon.   Follow Departures Magazine on Twitter: www.twitter.com/departuresmag [6] "; var coords = [-5, -72]; // display fb-bubble FloatingPrompt.embed(this, html, undefined, 'top', {fp_intersects:1, timeout_remove:2000,ignore_arrow: true, width:236, add_xy:coords, class_name: 'clear-overlay'}); }); References^ The best stargazing locations (www.departures.com)^ Departures (www.departures.com)^ Stunning Sunrise Views (www.departures.com)^ Asian Hotels With Captivating Views (www.departures.com)^ Spectacular Hotel Rooftop Pools (www.departures.com)^ www.twitter.com/departuresmag (www.twitter.com)",

	"story_summary" => "Conflicts in Syria, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mali push number of displaced people to more than 45 millionThe world is in the throes of its most serious refugee crisis for almost 20 years, as conflicts in Syria, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mali have forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes, the UN's refugee agency has said.In its global trends report (pdf), UNHCR said more than 45.1 million people were displaced last year, the largest number since 1994. This includes 15.4 million refugees, 937,000 asylum seekers, and 28.8 million internally displaced people (IDPs) – those forced to find refuge within the borders of their own countries."These truly are alarming numbers. They reflect individual suffering on a huge scale and they reflect the difficulties of the international community in preventing conflicts and promoting timely solutions for them," said António Guterres, UN high commissioner for refugees and head of UNHCR.The number of 28.8 million IDPs is the highest level in more than two decades, mainly because of the war in Syria. The three-year conflict, which has claimed 90,000 lives, has led to 4.25 million Syrians being internally displaced and more than 1.6 million refugees, concentrated in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Last week the UN launched its biggest appeal – $5bn (£3.2bn) – as it warned that half of Syria's population will need humanitarian aid by the end of the year.Globally, 7.6 million people fled their homes last year, of whom 1.1 million were refugees and 6.5 million internally displaced. This is equivalent to a new refugee or internally displaced person every 4.1 seconds.African countries have emerged as pioneers in addressing the problem of IDPs. In December, the Kampala convention, the world's first legally binding instrument to outline the obligations of governments to protect and assist IDPs, came into force.Signed, although not necessarily ratified, by 37 of the 53 members of the African Union, the convention binds governments to provide legal protection for the rights and wellbeing of those forced to flee within their countries because of conflict, violence, natural disasters or development projects.Under the convention, governments must gather data and identify IDPs to understand where they are and what they need, provide personal identification documents, trace families and help reunite them, and consult IDPs in decisions on their needs.Children under 18 comprise 46% of refugees. A record 21,300 asylum applications submitted during 2012 were from children unaccompanied or separated from their parents.Countries bearing the biggest burden of refugees tend to be in the developing world. Pakistan last year continued to host more refugees than any other country (1.6 million), followed by Iran (868,200) and Germany (589,700). Developing countries host 8.5 million refugees (81% of the world's total compared with 70% a decade ago).Afghanistan remains the largest source of refugees, a position it has held for 32 years. One in four refugees worldwide is Afghan, with 95% located in Pakistan or Iran. Somalia, another war-ravaged country, was the second-largest source of refugees in 2012, although the rate of outflow has slowed as the country has stabilised. Iraqis were the third-largest refugee group (746,700), followed by Syrians (471,400).As for solutions, voluntary repatriation provides the most durable response, followed by local integration and resettlement to a third country, although this option is open to few refugees.According to the report: "Voluntary repatriation is the durable solution for the largest number or refugees. It requires the commitment of the country of origin to protect and to reintegrate its own citizens back into their home communities."Over the past 10 years, 7.2 million refugees were repatriated, but only 836,500 were resettled. Last year, more than 500,000 were able to return home. The main countries of return were Afghanistan, Iraq, Ivory Coast and Syria. Most of the Afghans and Iraqis had been in exile for many years before their return. Of the repatriating Syrian and Ivorian refugees, most returned after only one or two years in exile, but with the prospects for continued violence in Syria and DRC, returns to these countries are likely to be poor.The world's four largest refugee camps are in Kenya, known collectively as Dadaab, home to about 500,000 refugees. Nyaragusu camp in Tanzania is the world's fifth-largest camp, home to 68,100 refugees, mainly from DRC.RefugeesInternally displaced peopleUnited NationsIvory CoastSyriaDemocratic Republic of the CongoMiddle East and North AfricaMaliAfricaMark Tranguardian.co.uk &copy; 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

	"story_summary" => "The sun, moon and stars have fascinated humankind since time immemorial. Aside from giving us a measure of time and geographical orientation, celestial bodies feed our imagination. Gazing into the night sky, we sense the vastness of the universe and mysteries beyond our comprehension. Stargazing is humbling, endlessly fascinating and hopelessly romantic. Before we lose our heads, there are a few important things to consider while reaching for the stars. NASA reportedly spent $2.1 billion to put the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit, which shows how bothersome the earth's atmosphere can be to an astronomer. The best stargazing locations[1] are generally the most remote, as light pollution seriously impedes a view of the night sky. Since humidity causes haze, a dry climate is also favorable. Pursuit of such surroundings will lead to some interesting corners of the globe. The Atacama Desert in Chile, the driest desert in the world, features isolation, an altitude of 16,404 feet and ALMA, the most expensive ground-based telescope. (The acronym stands for Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array and means "soul" in Spanish.) These characteristics combined give you a closer look at the stars than anywhere else on the planet. The Alqueva region in the south of Portugal is the first site in the world to receive the Starlight Tourism Destination certification; it has 286 clear nights a year and caters to astro tourists with a number of activities and services. At the Singita Grumeti Reserves in northern Tanzania, you can contemplate the Southern Cross with the local population of lions and hyenas.

The desert has optimal conditions for exploring the astronomical highlights of the southern skies. The newly inaugurated ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array) telescope, situated at 16,404 feet above sea level, promises unprecedented views of the cosmos, like the birth of stars, infant galaxies and planets circling distant suns. Atacama’s intense terrain is not for the faint of heart; a visit to ALMA requires health screenings to ensure one can endure the altitude. Among the top places to stay is Explora’s Hotel de Larache (all-inclusive three-night program, from $1,980; 866-750-6699; <a href="http://explora.com" target="_hplink">explora.com</a>), a remote lodge with its own observatory featuring one of the largest aficionado-level telescopes in Chile.Australian Outback<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/4" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Australia’s sacred landmark of Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is one of the island continent’s most remarkable sights, known for changing colors throughout the day. The giant sandstone formation takes on a glowing red at sunset, giving a dramatic finale to the day as the southern night sky unfolds across the ocher desert landscape. During an evening of dining under the stars, the Sounds of Silence experience at Ayers Rock Resort (from $185; <a href="http://ayersrockresort.com.au" target="_hplink">ayersrockresort.com.au</a>) decodes myriad stars visible through the clear atmosphere. Meanwhile, guests enjoy fine wine and innovative cuisine highlighting native ingredients like crocodile and quandong (a local wild peach). The eco-sensitive Longitude 131° (from $2,262 for a two-night minimum, including meals; 61-8/8957-7131; <a href="http://longitude131.com.au" target="_hplink">longitude131.com.au</a>) offers its guests exclusive views of sunrise and sunset over Uluru.Namib Desert, Namibia<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/5" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Ninety miles from the nearest town in the dramatic landscape of Namibia’s desert, an absolute silence reigns at Africa’s first International Dark Sky Reserve (IDSR). The winter months (April to September) provide the clearest skies, with darkness descending at 6 p.m. to reveal a spectacle of star clusters and galaxies, as well as a clear view of the Southern Cross and Centaurus constellations. Summer highlights include views of 47 Tucanae, a multibillion-year-old cluster containing more than a million stars. At andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge (from $535; 888-882-3742; <a href="http://andbeyond.com" target="_hplink">andbeyond.com</a>) in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, guests join resident astronomers at the state-of-the-art observatory, complete with a Meade LX200R 12-inch telescope. Each stone-and-glass desert villa features a large skylight above the bed for all-night stargazing.Jasper National Park, Canada<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/6" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Home to the largest dark-sky preserve in the world, at 4,335 square miles, light-pollution-free Jasper National Park in southwestern Canada offers easy access to stargazing sites via a network of rugged backcountry roads and trails that lead through mountainous terrain. But due to the longer days in spring and summer months, the ideal season to visit is October through March for a chance to witness the magic of the Northern Lights. The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge (from $185; 780-852-3301; <a href="http://fairmont.com/jasper" target="_hplink">fairmont.com/jasper</a>) has an offer well-suited to experienced and novice stargazers alike: Their two-night weekend astronomy package includes a luxe room, both a group and a private dark-sky tour, telescope instruction and a portable take-home telescope.Koh Kood Island, Thailand<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/7" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Close to the Cambodian border, around 200 miles east of bustling Bangkok, the island of Koh Kood is home to rain forests and sleepy fishing villages. Its sparse population and relative remoteness mean little light pollution, which results in successful stargazing. Guests at the Soneva Kiri Resort (from $760; 66-0-3961-9800; <a href="http://soneva.com" target="_hplink">soneva.com</a>) can make the most of its favorable latitudinal location—more constellations come into view closer to the equator—using the high-tech telescope in the resort’s own observatory and the expertise of resident astronomer Dr. Parag Mahajani. The telescope has a database of more than 40,000 celestial objects, which can be zoomed in on in a matter of seconds. Legendary moon walker Buzz Aldrin visited the observatory in 2012 to share his unique experience with space travel.Maui<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/8" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> Eye-popping natural beauty, stellar cuisine and a dizzying range of outings and activities are just part of Maui’s all-encompassing appeal. No surprise then that some of the best stargazing in the world also happens here. “On Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii are some of the largest astronomical observatories on earth,” confirms Eddie Mahoney, NASA solar system ambassador and director of astronomy at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa ($299; 808-661-1234; <a href="http://maui.hyatt.com" target="_hplink">maui.hyatt.com</a>). “The gentle trade winds provide a smooth laminar airflow with no industrial pollution for crystal-clear viewing. Being just 20 degrees north of the equator allows us a view of 80 of the 88 constellations!” See for yourself using the hotel’s state-of the-art telescope on the rooftop of a nine-story tower.Singita Grumeti Reserves, Tanzania<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/9" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> The untouched wilderness of the Singita Grumeti Reserves in northern Tanzania is home to a well-established resident game population including zebras, gazelles, elephants, lions and cheetahs. Travelers with Singita Explore (from $1,950; 212-967-5895; <a href="http://singita.com" target="_hplink">singita.com</a>) spend the night with mere canvas separating them from the bush and with nearly every imaginable creature comfort at hand. Swarovski spotting scopes and knowledgeable guides will help you catch sight of the large and small Magellanic Clouds, visible only in the Southern Hemisphere.Turks & Caicos<a href="http://www.departures.com/slideshows/top-stargazing-destinations/1" target="_hplink">See More Top Stargazing Destinations Here</a><br><br> As night falls on these Caribbean islands, the astounding daytime views—a turquoise Atlantic lapping fine-sand alabaster beaches—are gradually replaced by an equally tranquilizing celestial spectacle. “Amanyara offers a spectacular view of the night sky unencumbered by lights, buildings or mountains that may otherwise disrupt the view,” explains Lindsay Mensen, the resident naturalist at Amanyara (from $1,300; 649-941-8133; <a href="http://amanresorts.com" target="_hplink">amanresorts.com</a>), a secluded resort on Providenciales Island. During the stargazing experience, which can be arranged privately or in a group for sky events like meteor showers, guests learn more about the constellations, take a closer look at the planets of the solar system and explore the eerie crater surface of our nearest neighbor, the moon.   Follow Departures Magazine on Twitter: www.twitter.com/departuresmag [6] "; var coords = [-5, -72]; // display fb-bubble FloatingPrompt.embed(this, html, undefined, 'top', {fp_intersects:1, timeout_remove:2000,ignore_arrow: true, width:236, add_xy:coords, class_name: 'clear-overlay'}); }); References^ The best stargazing locations (www.departures.com)^ Departures (www.departures.com)^ Stunning Sunrise Views (www.departures.com)^ Asian Hotels With Captivating Views (www.departures.com)^ Spectacular Hotel Rooftop Pools (www.departures.com)^ www.twitter.com/departuresmag (www.twitter.com)",
