How to go someplace very, very dark and look at the stars all night
It made me
 "Incredible"
How I did it: I went on a Stray bus tour of the North Island of New Zealand; one night we visited hot water beach. We dug a giant hole in the sand and the whole group sat in our homemade hot tub. It was pitch black outside and when you looked up, all you could see was stars. It was beautiful, incredible, one of the most memorable experiences of my life. |

How I did it: My sister and I went outside on a very dark night and sat on a cover together. It was in Greece, so the stars were always out, but so were the bugs. We had fun looking at the stars, but the bugs were annoying and it kind of ruined the experience. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I've done it several times - whenever I've been in a sparsely populated area with low light pollution, such as my aunt's farm up in the mountains, or in a national park, or when overnighting on a cross-country road-trip in a small town or village.Unless you live in a city centre, simply switching off all the lights around your house (perhaps you could get the neighbours in on the act?) can significantly improve star visibility. The weathe… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Went to the observatory at Mauna Kea on the Big Island in Hawaii. It was so amazing! You can see the milky way, satellites orbiting the earth, just totally amazing. Read how I did it…

How I did it: One night I went into a field nearby with some friends while we were on a mission trip in Umtata, South Africa.It wasn't really all night, but long enough to see a few shooting stars. Amazing. I'm going to do it again soon, but in a new place. Stars are amazing anywhere, the less light the better. I've also once on the way to a camp stopped in the middle of a dirt road and turned off the car lights to see the stars… Read how I did it…
How I did it: the mountains of Pakistan, far from the lights, a cloudless night, standing and looking up all you could see were stars and galaxies and gasses and the tiny eyes of a hundred trillion alien children unaware of each other Read how I did it…

Tonight the Perseid meteor shower occurs. The best viewing times are between midnight and 5 a.m. If I can make it I’m gonna drive to the darkest part of my surrounding area and watch it.

I found that out in Arizona there is a place called Kitt Peak. Kitt Peak is a mountain which is home to a large and very important observatory center. Observatory’s need no light pollution to search the cosmos effectively, and Arizona actually has laws against light pollution. It’s very cheap to fly to Arizona in January, it’s something like 150’ish dollars round trip. Hopefully I can make it down there this winter. :D

orionids meteor shower is here. hopefully we’ll be able to see it.
I drove my car 20 miles out of the college campus and parked my car next to a cornfield. I got out and just stood in awe of how many stars I could see. I am definitely going to do this again sometime soon but I want to be completely could off from civilization.

There is a beautiful little beach town in India called Gokarna. My friends and I went there for a weekend; There is no better feeling then lying down on the beach and looking up at the stars. I have never ever seen more stars in the sky than there in Gokarna.

stars just have a way of making you relax. I seriously recommend this to anyone who is feeling stressed with their lives.

This is the only reason I ever thought I might want to go on a cruise. I live in a city and can never see th stars. I hear when you’re in the middle of the ocean, it’s mindblowing how many stars you can see.
