The Night Sky 2025 – Edition
The night sky 2025 will offer many opportunities for spectacular views.
The year has kicked-off with unfavorable night sky viewing conditions across much of the United States and other locations. We hope there’s rapid improvement.
Tracking the sky can be done for little or no money, and is a great way to spend time away from technology while enjoying the natural world. Excessive screen time is considered to have negative impacts on youth development.
