Summer 2024

Greetings All!

The Summer Solstice was June 20th this year! The Solstice heralds the longest day of the year and of course, the shortest night. For stargazers and astrobuffs, this means we have to pack more in the limited time we have available. But make no mistake, the summer time has some truly inspiring things to look at in the night sky.

We welcome Virgo high overhead where the Virgo super cluster of galaxies resides. Cancer is low in the west will be gone soon taking with it the fascinating Bee Hive Cluster. Rising in the East, we are very exited about Lyra and its superbright star Vega. Soon we will be able to see the Summer Triangle, Sagittarius, and on dark nights, our Milky Way Galaxy!

We will be open (weather permitting) all summer long this year. For our summer tours, please note that summer storms and tropical systems in Florida can disrupt our view of the sky at any moment. We always keep our guests well informed about any cloud or storm developments prior to our tours. Should your night be cancelled, you will always have the option of rescheduling or refunding, no questions asked! Come celebrate these hot summer nights in Florida under the stars with us here at Starry Night Florida!
