    The 9 Best Spots for Stargazing in Louisville

    March 13, 2023 / No Comments

    Whether you think of the "slugger" or as a base for striking out to sip some damn good bourbon, Louisville is a place known for a lot – but not necessarily for seeing the night sky. See, like most cities in the world, Louisville, Kentucky is plagued by the phenomenon of light pollution: the city lights tend to reflect and shine up into the sky, making it hard to see the stars...

    Among even Midwest cities, Omaha is a bit of an underdog. While it's about the same population as cities like Kansas City and Minneapolis, people are far more likely to visit those cities for barbeque, hockey, live music, and other things they are known for. But hey, what about Omaha?!...

But did you know it's also a pretty good spot for seeing the astronomical wonders overhead, if you know where to go?...

    February 1, 2023 / No Comments

    I'll be completely honest: when I started this site, I had big plans to create stargazing guides for every big city in the U.S., as well as many of the smaller ones. My hope was that getting more people out to see the night sky would help inspire us to better protect the darkness and our planet. Through my research, I soon learned that there are some parts of the country where – again, complete frankness – the stargazing just kind of sucks....

    Tucson, Arizona is arguably the best city for stargazing in the United States – if not the world. Home to the International Dark-Sky Association (STG founder Valerie is a proud member!), the city of Tucson has taken large and bold steps to reduce light pollution, and it is one of the best mid-sized cities where you can stargaze right within the city...

    The Western U.S. might get all the glory – and all the certifications – for its dark sky destinations, but most of us don't live in those remote, rural areas where the stars shine so brightly. In fact, an estimated 37% of Americans live in the South, so a good number of folks are trying to see the stars in that part of the country...

    Not far from the center of the United States, you can't deny that Kansas City is smack dab in the heart of America's Heartland. Known for its incredible barbecue, top-tier sports teams, and public art – being home to more fountains than Rome, it's nicknamed the City of Fountains – Kansas City, Missouri, and neighboring Kansas City, Kansas are great destinations, though often overlooked...

    Memphis is a city known for many things: great sports, great music, great food, and great sunset views across the Mississippi each evening. I've been fortunate to visit Memphis several times due to friends living in Bluff City, but usually confine myself to the city limits and enjoy all that Memphis has to offer – rather than focusing on my love of astronomy. Given all the neon on Beale Street and other city lights, you might wonder: can you go stargazing in Memphis...
