Essential Astro-Tourism Checklist
It’s no secret that I love the stars–astronomy was my science of choice at university. Being able to just see the stars is often enough for me, but special events are over the top. I clearly remember when I got to see Halley’s Comet in 1986. We were living in Pittsburgh and the entire apartment complex was outside. One neighbor had a telescope and let all of the kids have a turn–it was a pivotal moment for this space-loving kid. This printable astro-tourism checklist goes over some of the best places to see the stars in the States, from dark sky reserves and observatories to astronomy festivals and upcoming celestial events.
