Stargazing

Tonight is going to be a great night for stargazing in NJ, with your chance to see 2 meteor showers!

LAST BLUE MOON THIS DECADE COMING UP THIS WEEKEND! Stargazers will wanna be looking up this weekend because we have our last "Blue Moon" of the decade coming up officially Saturday night.

November 2018 will feature a pair of meteor showers visible from Ocean County that could produce amazing shooting stars!

I've talked many times about my love of looking at the stars and the night sky. Knowing that, you'll understand why something that happened this past weekend thrilled me.

There are truly few things that I love more than looking at the night sky. Ever since my childhood at summer camp, I've loved laying outside and gazing up at a crystal clear night sky. And this week we'll have not one, but a trio of treats in the skies over Ocean County.

Unlike most other meteor showers, the Geminids are associated not with a comet but with an asteroid: the 3200 Phaethon. The asteroid takes about 1.4 years to orbit around the Sun. The Geminids are considered to be one of the more spectacular meteor shower during a year, with the possibility of sight…

No, I didn't misspell "Superman". When next week kicks off, weather permitting, Ocean County could be in for a night time treat.

It doesn't happen very often, where all of the weather and astronomical conditions are literally perfect for stargazing, so when it does I love to take advantage of it.

I've talked before about my love for the night sky, and while you'd normally have to get far away from city and suburban light pollution for unique views, over the next few days a rare opportunity is visible throughout Ocean County.
