Get ready for meteor showers, solar and lunar eclipses, full moons, comets and intense lightning storms
“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”It sounds expensive, but even a first-class window seat on Starship Earth is free.
Waiting to photograph the shimmering green clouds in the arctic wilderness, I was moved to tears by the beauty and symbolism when they arrived. Between now and the arrival of the chilly nights of fall, sky watchers may enjoy meteor showers, solar and lunar eclipses, summer nighttime landscapes awash in the full moon, oh-wow moonrises, comets and intense lightning storms, all in front of the drop-curtain Milky Way.Even man-made marvels such as fireworks or drone light shows can add wonder to the night sky. To truly enjoy all that the night sky can offer, viewers must escape the lights of urban centers.
But just about anywhere east of San Diego’s urban areas can be a good place to spend a few hours letting your mind wander into the vast reaches of the universe. A comet could begin to glow in the night sky this month as the object known as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS approaches.
