Where are the starry skies of Iran?

 Due to air pollution and the reflection of disturbing lights, stars and celestial phenomena everywhere in the country were being prepared to be replaced. Therefore, to watch the glory of the night sky, it must be understood in such a way that any kind of pollution does not have a clear and dark sky.

But you notice, even natural light created some of the stars in our view, for example in the full moon light no one can buy the stars, even a thin crescent moon lightens the background of the sky a little. So if you want to go here to see the stars, pay attention to the moon phase. If you want to have a completely dark sky all night to see the stars, make a suggestion to start the lunar month to see the stars.
