2 months agoI've Chased Night Skies Around the World-and This Is My No. 1 Astrotourism Tip
After years of traveling the globe in search of the darkest skies still possible in an increasingly bright world, I've learned something that surprises a lot of people: truly experiencing the night isn't just about where you go-it's about when you go. If I had to share just one astrotourism tip with travelers, it would be this: plan your trip around the new moon. It sounds almost too simple, but the difference it makes is dramatic. When the moon is absent from the night sky, darkness returns in a way that feels almost ancient. Stars multiply. Constellations become easier to trace. And in truly dark places, the Milky Way often reveals itself as a glowing, dusty band stretching from horizon to horizon.

4 months agoThis 'Star Train' Is One of the Best Ways to See the Night Sky in the U.S.-With Stunning Milky Way Views
Astrotourism continues to be one of the world's leading trends, and many travelers make big plans to cross oceans and continents just to experience auroras, meteor showers, and some of the darkest night skies in the world. While there are seemingly endless night-sky viewing activities to find, one of the most unique is located in Nevada-Ely, Nevada, to be exact. The small city (population just under 4,000) may be remote, but it's famously home to the Nevada Northern Railway.

For those not in the know, astrotourism is one of the hottest trends in travel. It brings people to destinations where they can witness everything from the aurora borealis to solar eclipses, and to places with low light pollution where the stars shine the way they were meant to be seen. And according to Kühl, the outdoor apparel company, it might be more necessary than you think.
