Hi Roshan, Yes there is much beauty in our Universe, but the radiation from the hot young stars in such an environment would make it quite hostile for any life. Ajay

Thank you. Washington is a beautiful place to visit in late spring or summer. Skies really open up around the middle of June. However, if you want to be under dark skies you will have to drive over the Cascades to the Eastern part of the state. Goldendale is in the SE portion of the state. There is a public observatory, but it's being rebuilt and is currently closed for visits. There are several state and national parks you can camp in. Eastern Oregon has some of the best skies you could wish for. All the best. Ajay
