LOS 5 MEJORES SITIOS DE URUGUAY PARA VER LAS ESTRELLAS
La magia de observar el cielo nocturno a las afueras de la ciudad es una experiencia inolvidable. Capturarlo en una fotografía aún más. El Ministerio de Turismo junto al astrofotógrafo uruguayo, Fefo Bouvier, te propone visitar 5 lugares en Uruguay donde los cielos aún mantienen su oscuridad natural — casi libres de contaminación lumínica — para que lleves tu cámara fotográfica, los binoculares o simplemente disfrutes de la vista La Vía Láctea, cientos de estrellas, planetas, lluvias de meteoros y hasta galaxias vecinas sorprenderán tu retina. El centro galáctico, la parte más brillante de la Vía Láctea —visible a simple vista como una gran banda luminosa en el cielo—, se ve también desde el hemisferio norte, pero la ventaja de observarlo desde el sur es que cuando está más alto en el cielo, durante el invierno austral, las noches son más largas. Por lo tanto, se puede observar durante más tiempo. Además, el frío hace que la atmósfera sea prístina. Aquí en el sur, se destacan también las nubes de Magallanes, visibles a simple vista como dos parches blanquecinos que se distinguen ante la oscuridad de la noche. Estas galaxias enanas están ubicadas cerca del polo sur celeste, por lo que no se pueden observar desde la mayoría de las latitudes del norte. Por ese motivo, son un atractivo muy interesante para quienes nunca observaron el cielo sur, así como para alguien del sur lo es la galaxia Andrómeda. Levantar la vista y encontrarse con el patrimonio natural del cielo oscuro es un regalo de la naturaleza que se puede apreciar en varios puntos del país, pero aquí te presentamos 5 que se destacan porque permiten identificar claramente las particularidades del cielo a simple vista, por su facilidad de acceso y por ser atractivos turísticos en sí mismos.
1. Cerro de la Buena Vista, Rocha
2. Cerro Catedral, Maldonado
3. Parque Salto del Penitente, Lavalleja
4. Paisaje protegido Valle del Lunarejo, Rivera
5. Sierras de Mahoma, San José

The magic of observing the night sky outside the city is an unforgettable experience. Capturing it in a photograph even more so. The Ministry of Tourism together with the Uruguayan astrophotographer, Fefo Bouvier, proposes you to visit 5 places in Uruguay where the skies still maintain their natural darkness - almost free of light pollution - so you can take your camera, binoculars or simply enjoy the view of The Milky Way, hundreds of stars, planets, meteor showers and even neighboring galaxies will surprise your retina. The galactic center, the brightest part of the Milky Way -visible to the naked eye as a large luminous band in the sky-, can also be seen from the northern hemisphere, but the advantage of observing it from the south is that when it is higher in the sky, during the austral winter, the nights are longer. Therefore, it can be observed for a longer period of time. In addition, the cold weather makes the atmosphere pristine. Here in the south, the Magellanic clouds also stand out, visible to the naked eye as two whitish patches that stand out against the darkness of the night. These dwarf galaxies are located near the south celestial pole, so they cannot be observed from most northern latitudes. For that reason, they are a very interesting attraction for those who have never observed the southern sky, just as the Andromeda galaxy is for someone from the south. To look up and find the natural heritage of the dark sky is a gift of nature that can be appreciated in various parts of the country, but here we present 5 that stand out because they allow you to clearly identify the peculiarities of the sky with the naked eye, for its ease of access and for being tourist attractions in themselves.
