Astronomy Travel It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other. - Plato, Greek philosopher, lived 427 - 347 BC (BCE) |

Astronomy travel is also referred to as astronomy tourism and astronomical travel. We offer information for those who want to travel somewhere to gaze at the universe through a telescope or experience eclipses, meteor showers and other phenomena of the heavens. Even if you don't own a telescope, you and your kids and family will find it awe-inspiring to look at the stars and planets through a telescope or to watch a comet, meteor shower or eclipse occasionally. Even looking up at the heavens on a dark night while camping under the stars and seeing a passing satellite go across the sky is a fascinating experience. A good way to gaze at the heavens through a telescope is to contact a local astronomer club and see when they are having a stargazing meeting, called a "star Party" and see if you can come as a guest. If you want to see the Northern or Southern Lights, visit our Aurora lights page. Sky and Telescope magazine is an excellent source of astronomy information. *** Exceptional web site Neat Sites in Astronomy. Kirk Korista has a wonderful little website with a single page of excellent links to astronomy related websites listed under various categories. Finally, to show you the wonder of looking at the stars, gaze upon a 360-degree virtual panorama of our own Milky Way Galaxy. And if that isn't enough to take your breath away, here is a 360-degree panorama of the first landing on the moon. |
