💡 Stargazing Tips for Kids

• Find a dark spot - Get away from street lights and buildings
• Wait 20 minutes - Let your eyes adjust to the darkness
• Look for the North Star first - Find the Big Dipper, then follow the two end stars up!
• Use your fist - Your fist at arm's length is about 10 degrees of sky
• Best time - 1-2 hours after sunset when it's fully dark
• Bring a red flashlight - Red light won't ruin your night vision!
