Visit USA

Crystal clear night skies are one of the many reasons to visit Maine’s Acadia National Park. Photographer Evan Kokoska planned a last-minute trip to Acadia to capture the night sky. After some scouting and gorging on lobster, he spent the night shooting at Bubble Pond. With clear skies and calm winds, he was able to catch the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. An added bonus – Mars (to the right) and Saturn (a little below and to the left of Mars). Of the park, he says, “Acadia is powerful – the granite and shorelines are amazing and humbling.” Photo courtesy of Evan Kokoska.
