Farther than any journey you could physically take. Let\u2019s travel into the stars. I love the night sky. Stargazing is such an important part of the outdoor experience. Some of my best memories from camping trips past have been of a night sky lit up with stars and streaked with the milk way. Or northern lights. Comets. A planet seen through a telescope. Today my guest is Alan Dyer. Alan is, among many other things, the co-author of the new edition of &quot;The Backyard Astronomer\u2019s Guide,&quot; written with astronomer and author Terrance Dickinson. We\u2019re going to chat about how you can become familiar with the stars above, what threats the night sky faces and what went into creating this incredible astronomer\u2019s resource.
