In Juneau, our night skies turn light and the stars disappear. If you are heading south for a summer break, the night can be warm and the skies dark. What a great time to look up. Where are you headed? If you are headed south (or if you would just like to explore a summer sky without leaving Juneau!) over the summer, you will find darker nights than we have in our summer months. What are the “summer constellations” and why are they called that? Which ones would you see? Learn some highlights of summer celestial events. What night sky apps can be helpful in planning your nights or when you get there? Where are you headed? Lower 48, Hawaii, Australia, Europe? Let us know before or while you are there. Or just enjoy learning what’s up.
