Milky Way | Al Quaa | Abu Dhabi | Must Watch

The Milky Way is the galaxy that includes our Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth:
a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye.
The term Milky Way is a translation of the Latin via lactea, from the Greek
The Al Quaa desert is a 90-minute drive from Abu Dhabi city towards Al Ain and is fast gaining a reputation as “the Milky Way spot.”
This is one of the darkest places in the Emirates and very little to negligible light pollution makes it the best way to see the Milky Way in the region.
It is difficult to see other objects when the Moon is the brightest thing up in the night sky. This becomes even more difficult due to dust and light pollution. But fret not,
the Milky Waypoint in Abu Dhabi is free from all these and you will definitely be able to get a really nice view of the mesmerizing night sky from here.
Tips-to-note before visiting Al Quaa
Al Quaa Milky Way spot
If you are going there in a regular car and not a 4×4, make sure not to drive it on the soft parts of the sand. Also, if you’re planning to take some good shots of the star-studded skies, then a smartphone camera might not suffice. It would be a good idea to take a DSLR/mirrorless camera so as to cover the beautiful sight that may otherwise be visible only to the naked eye. You could also take other eyepieces and telescope accessories if you are going for a true stargazing experience.
When to visit Al Quaa
What could be a better time to go stargazing than during a meteor shower? You won’t even need a telescope or a pair of binoculars to view this beautiful scene. Meteor showers occur mostly around the same time from year to year, although the peak may vary by a day or two. Here are some meteor showers expected in 2021 during which you could visit Al Quaa:
10 Milky Way facts you probably didn’t know

Although it cannot be exactly defined, the Milky Way is said to be made up of approximately 100 billion stars.
Our galaxy is, on average, a hundred thousand light-years across and 13.51 billion years old.
The central region of the Milky Way is shaped like a bar, composed of mostly old, red stars.
It takes 250 million years for our Sun and the solar system to go all the way around the center of the Milky Way.
Scientists predict that in about four billion years, the Milky Way will collide with its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.
The Milky Way is also surrounded by more than 150 ancient groups of stars including some of which are the oldest in the universe.
About 10-15% of the Milky Way’s visible matter is made of dust and gas, the rest being stars.
Like most large galaxies, the Milky Way has a massive black hole at its center called Sagittarius A*.
The Milky Way is made up of about 90% dark matter, the matter that cannot be seen, and about 10% “luminous matter”, or matter that we can see with our eyes.
Our galaxy is said to have grown by devouring other small galaxies. The process is still on-going even now.
