Made in the USA.Trade Review[August 2017] One of my favorite things to do on clear dark nights when I’m far away from city lights is to gaze at the night sky and imagine worlds far away. Spotting planets, looking for constellations and viewing the Milky Way top my list of things I enjoy best about the darkest skies. Of course, if a UFO happens to make its way across the sky I’m never disappointed. Lots of people use their phones to guide them of where to look but that causes you to have to readjust your eyes to the inky night. Instead I’ve found two laminated, pocket guides that are perfect for spotting your favorite things, except UFOs of course. Helpful Guides For Viewing The Night Sky The Night Sky: A Folding Pocket Guide to the Moon, Stars, Planets & Celestial Events, includes seasonal GLOW-IN-THE-DARK charts to the stars and constellations and introduces the reader to the solar system, our moon, planets (visible with the naked eye), meteor showers and eclipses. This is a perfect guide for the upcoming solar eclipse. I love that it is glow in the dark so that I don’t have to turn on any lights.
