"There are few things more peaceful and relaxing than a night under the stars.
Through the holidays, many people head away from the bright city lights to go
camping. They revel in the dark skies, spangled with myriad stars.
As a child, I loved such trips, and they helped cement my passion for the night
sky, and for all things space.
One of my great joys as an astronomer is sharing the night sky with people.
There is something wondrous about helping people stare at the cosmos through a
telescope, getting their first glimpses of the universe’s many wonders. But we
can also share and enjoy the night sky just with our own eyes – pointing out
the constellations and the planets, or discovering the joys of watching meteor
showers.
It is easy to be bitten by the astronomy bug, and a common question I get asked
is “how can I get more into stargazing?”. Here are ways to get started in this
fascinating and timeless hobby that won’t break the bank."
Share and enjoy,
