    How to Plan a Badlands National Park Stargazing Trip in 2022

    February 15, 2022 / 6 Comments

    They call it flyover country – the Great Plains. For the most part, they’re sweeping, rolling plains of agricultural land with little beyond rivers and roads to punctuate them. But in the heart of South Dakota, there’s a special geologic area that has drawn travelers for thousands of years. It’s called the Badlands, for the harshness of the landscape – but they’re definitely not bad. And a portion of this area is protected as Badlands National Park, one of the best national parks for stargazing in the U.S. Badlands National Park is a special stargazing destination for a number of reasons, including its remote location far from light pollution and major…

    As you get more interested in astronomy, you might find yourself wanting equipment to level up your stargazing experience. After all, while our eyes are great tools for exploring the wonders of the night sky, they're also severely limited. That's why we spend literally billions of dollars to launch space telescopes like Hubble, Spitzer, and Webb... And why people invest in telescopes right here on earth...

    How to Plan the Perfect Pinnacles National Park Stargazing Trip

    February 10, 2022 / No Comments

    The Golden State is home to many wonders, and this is no better encapsulated than in the nine national parks in California. There you’ll find towering Redwoods, steaming fumaroles, otherworldly Joshua Trees, and the breathtaking beauty of Yosemite. I’ve been fortunate to visit many national parks in my life so far – and go stargazing in nearly as many of them. Pinnacles holds a special place in my heart, as it’s my favorite national park in California. After a day spent hiking, exploring the caves, and watching the Condors ride the thermals, Pinnacles delights after dark since it’s far from any big California cities and far less-visited. If you’re intrigued…

Unfortunately, more extensive development has led to a lot more light pollution; this in turn has made it hard to enjoy a night of stargazing since you can see fewer stars near urban areas – and must drive further to reach the few pockets of truly dark sky that remain...
