Stargazing. A magnificent celestial dome seen from near the equator, the Caribbean sky appears enormous, being seen in the tropical latitudes. The relatively low level of ambient light makes viewing all the better. There is an antique observatory at Skyworld. A great book on stargazing is Soap Operas of the Sky. And here's a view of the Virgins from the ski, courtesy of NASA.
