The Milky Way Is About to Put on a Show — Here's When - video Dailymotion

WooGlobe

Don’t miss one of the most breathtaking celestial events of the year! On September 21, the new moon creates perfect conditions to witness the Summer Milky Way like never before. With no moonlight and cooler, clearer skies, this is the ultimate moment to see the galaxy’s glowing arch stretch across the night sky — from Scorpius to Cassiopeia.  But if you live in a city, light pollution might steal this view from you. In this video, we explore why most people can’t see the Milky Way anymore, and take you back to a legendary night in 1975, when the stars shined so bright, they cast shadows on the ground.  Whether you're a seasoned stargazer or just curious, this is your chance to reconnect with the night sky. All you need is a dark spot, a little patience… and a look up.

00:00Next week, the Milky Way will be at its most breathtaking, and you might never see it this

00:04clearly again. On September 21st, the moon goes completely dark. That means no moonlight to drown

00:10out the stars. And with cooler, clearer skies, this is the perfect time to see the summer Milky

00:16Way in all its glory. As soon as night falls, look from northeast to southwest. You'll see a glowing

00:22ribbon stretching across the sky. Grab binoculars and scan from the scorpion's tail, through the

00:27Summer Triangle, all the way to Cassiopeia. You'll spot star clusters, constellations, even vast dark

00:34gaps like the Great Rift and Cygnus. But here's the sad part. Most city skies are so polluted with light,

00:40the Milky Way has simply vanished for millions. Back in 1975, under a pitch-black Adirondack sky,

00:47two teen stargazers were awestruck. The Milky Way glowed so brightly, it cast shadows on the ground.

00:53That night became a memory of a lifetime. So this week, find a dark sky, look up, and maybe you'll

01:01see the stars the way they were meant to be seen.
