And if so, well, you’re on the right track, and we’ve got 22 more great suggestions! Check out the entire list here.

Get Out and See the Blue Supermoon Eclipse!

An eclipse of the blue supermoon-- our guess is, once you see it, you’ll want to add a few more superlatives to the description. Make your plans now for January 20-21 celestial dance, with travel plans to Point Lookout State Park in St. Mary’s or Tuckahoe State Park on the Eastern Shore, Maryland’s two designated “dark sky” spots for viewing. And look for events at the Maryland Science Center and other astronomy outreach spots across the state. Get all the details on our out-of-this-world Astronomy page.
