Star Exploration in the UAE Nearby
A group of volunteers from the "Dubai Astronomy Group" organized night trips to the Qoua Desert, aiming to enable individuals to observe the stars and the Milky Way, which are difficult to see in urban areas due to light pollution. The study indicated that 99% of the residents of the UAE are unable to view the galaxy from their homes because of widespread artificial lighting. Abu Dhabi announced a policy to reduce light pollution in 2024. During these trips, participants were able to see the galaxy with the naked eye, observe meteors, and used telescopes to capture images of the stars, all within a dark desert environment that provides suitable conditions for observation.
