THE BRZZY GUIDE · LOOK UP
Clear skies, on purpose.
The Milky Way is up there every clear night. Most of us just never check whether the night is clear.
Five things decide the stars.
Hourly cover, not the daily icon
Check hourly cloud cover for night hours. Thin high clouds dim faint stars.
The monthly calendar matters
Full moon washes out stars. Week around new moon is prime time.
The night after the front
Cold front sweeps out haze. Clearest night is often right after weather.
Dew is the quiet ruiner
When dew point nears overnight low, optics fog. Wide spread means dry night.
Steady air, steady stars
Heavy twinkling means turbulent air. Calm nights give steadiest stars.
Get away from the glow
Drive from city glow. 20 minutes for eyes to adapt. Red flashlight.
The forecast is the invitation.
Pick the clearest night, drive somewhere dark, and look up. The universe is putting on a show every night.
Stargazing questions, answered.
