2/20. ACNH Research Area of Space & Stars

The moon is NOT a research center. You don’t have to convince us, nor does there have to be a foundation for you to build upon — the potential for your design is in its simplicity and its function. I think “that guy who did that one thing” would totally approve. (My bad, Neil.

3/20. ACNH Garden of Rainbow Celestial

The sun filters in through the rainclouds and a rainbow appears, arching over an outdoor art installation. This room is full of a colorful mix of plants, cacti and succulent life.

4/20. ACNH Beach Stargazing

You can set up a planet-watching station in a number of different ways, but here’s one that’s sure to please.

7/20. ACNH Pretty Pink Planets

What a lovely area to peruse while searching for your favorite constellations! I was definitely befuddled at the age of 20 years old when I learned that you could plant flowers on the beach. The color coordination is brilliant, and creates a space that’s unique to the player. It even sparks joy — or another of the emotions available for us humans to feel, anyway.

What a clear design to stare at the big rock in the sky. This night sky garden is well-designed with everything that’s needed for stargazing and even more.

Natural stone paths will lead you up to this area, letting you look out across the sea. And if that’s not for you, man… Feel free to just enjoy the open sky!

16/20. ACNH Psychic Stall

This is a small business that highlights Moon Island’s major attractions: cool views of the moon, and a unique combination of outdoor mysticism and island living.

Here’s a place dedicated to all of your favorite aliens. This is absolutely the best spot in the city to hang out with friends and watch the moon while sipping on some delicious coffee.

18/20. ACNH Mountain Star Studded

The positioning of the white hyacinths and star fragments is so perfect — it’s almost as if this little island belongs in outer space, but has been grounded onto land by chains of rocks. The best part is that I can use this to my advantage! I used to have a hard time drawing meteors, but now I can create them effortlessly on my island! Who knew that stargazing could be so useful?

19/20. ACNH Stargazing Area of Zodiac

There’s nothing quite like a celestial shower to inspire awe, wonder and romance. Now you can bring that magic into your own backyard!
