Abstract
Semiclassical gravity predicts that de Sitter space has a finite entropy. W e suggest a picture for Euclidean de Sitter space in string theory, and use the AdS/CFT correspondence to argue that de Sitter entropy can be understo od as the number of degrees of freedom in a quantum mechanical dual.
