Our projects
We recognize the importance of preserving the natural beauty of the night sky, and we are actively working with resorts to obtain Dark Sky Certification through the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). This certification involves:
Implementing Responsible Lighting Practices: Resorts must reduce light pollution by using low-impact lighting that minimizes skyglow and glare. This includes installing shielded fixtures and using warm-colored bulbs.
Educating Staff and Guests: Resorts commit to educating their staff and guests about the importance of dark sky conservation. This involves hosting workshops and providing materials on the impact of light pollution and ways to mitigate it.
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: Certified resorts will regularly monitor their lighting practices and work towards continuous improvement, ensuring they meet the IDA's stringent requirements.
By aligning with these standards, we aim to create pristine stargazing environments that offer guests unparalleled views of the cosmos while preserving the natural nocturnal ecosystem.
Creating Spaces for Astronomy & Space Games for Kids and Adults
To spark curiosity and a love for astronomy among all age groups, we are developing dedicated spaces for engaging and educational astronomy and space games. These spaces will feature:
Interactive AR Museum : Hands-on exhibits where visitors can learn about the solar system, constellations, and space exploration through interactive displays and activities.
Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences: As the first in the world to introduce VR Astronomy, we provide immersive VR experiences that allow users to explore the universe, visit distant planets, and witness astronomical phenomena up close.
Educational Activities and Games: Fun and educational games designed for kids and adults, teaching concepts such as orbital mechanics, the phases of the moon, and the life cycle of stars through play.
These spaces will not only provide entertainment but also foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of astronomy and space science.
Making Astro-Tourism a Norm in the Maldives
Our vision is to make the Maldives a beacon destination for stargazers and astrophotographers worldwide. To achieve this, we are:
Promoting Dark Sky Tourism: By partnering with resorts to achieve Dark Sky Certification, we ensure that visitors have access to some of the darkest and clearest skies for stargazing and astrophotography.
Hosting Astronomy Events: Organizing regular stargazing nights, astronomy lectures, and celestial events to attract tourists and provide them with unique and memorable experiences.
Collaborating with Astrophotographers: Working with renowned astrophotographers to capture the stunning night skies of the Maldives, showcasing these images to promote astro tourism globally.
By integrating these efforts, we aim to establish the Maldives as a top destination for those seeking extraordinary astronomical experiences, attracting tourists who are passionate about the night sky.
