I'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.
