Bundle Up for an Epic Night of Stargazing in Wyoming CONSTELLATIONS AND COCOA
Gear Up While you don’t need a telescope to spot stars here in the dark sky, it can enhance what you see. Bring binoculars for closer viewing and utilize star-finding apps like SkyView, which can help you locate and identify specific stars and constellations. You can also find the Big Dipper and use it as a reference point as you seek out different heavenly bodies. Don’t forget to bring a flashlight to check for wildlife in the area. Wyoming’s winter skies offer a breathtaking view of the cosmos and all its stars. Whether you are a seasoned stargazer or just beginning to explore the night skies, you will find endless wonders under the sparkling canopy above.
There’s something magical about stargazing during Wyoming’s cold winter nights. The state has some of the darkest skies in the country, making it ideal for spotting hundreds of stars, constellations, and even the Milky Way. Thanks to the vast darkness, low light pollution, high altitude, and wide open spaces, Wyoming is truly one of the best locations to immerse yourself in the wonder of the night sky. So, bundle up, grab a cup of hot cocoa, and get ready to count the constellations with these tips for an epic night of astronomy-based fun. Why Wyoming? Wyoming is the least populated state in the U.S. and has some of the lowest light pollution, which helps you see even more
stars, planets, and galaxies. It also has a high elevation, putting you closer to the sky with less atmosphere to look through. You won’t have trouble finding a perfect location to look to the skies with the state’s many parks and undeveloped lands. Prepare for the Cold Though the winter months put exciting astral sights front and center, like the constellation Orion and the Andromeda Galaxy, they also drop the temperature to extreme lows. Wear layers on your stargazing trip, and bring supplies like extra socks and a shovel to scoop snow out of your observing area. Blankets and a thermos of your favorite hot beverage will make the whole night a better experience.
