After nine years of hard work, Bruneau Dunes State Park south of Boise has been officially designated an International Dark Sky Park by Dark Sky International.

This very rare certification means the park's two telescopes and the landscape around them can take advantage of very dark night conditions to see far into space.

Greg Harman, a park ranger at Bruneau Dunes State Park, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
