Cause you're a sky full of stars. Dinosaur Provincial Park

Amidst the rugged badlands of Alberta, Dinosaur Provincial Park attracts researchers and tourists from around the world. Established in 1955, the park spans over 72 square kilometres of badlands terrain characterised by eroded sedimentary rocks. This landscape houses a treasure trove of fossils dating back over 75 million years, offering scientists and visitors a glimpse into the Late Cretaceous period.

The first fossil discovered in this park was of an Albertosaurus in 1884, which led to an excavation that uncovered approximately 500 species, including the fossils of Tyrannosaurus rex and Centrosaurus. The sediments exposed in the badlands, seen in today's image, have been around for over 1.5 million years. In the shadow of these fossils and under the glow of the Milky Way, the park welcomes all to witness the remnants of an era lost in time.
