Tip #1: Pick your location
Location is everything when it comes to stargazing, and your choice could either make or break your night. Wherever you live, you’ll need to find a dark spot with minimal light pollution for optimal stargazing. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Find a dark sky place near you. The International Dark Sky Places Program was founded to encourage the protection, preservation, and stewardship of dark sites through responsible lighting policies and education. Search the 195 certified sites usingthisinteractive map.
- Drive to the country. Leave the city and head to the country to escape light pollution. Find a spot with clear skies, park your truck, and you are ready to start your magical night of stargazing!
- Get elevated. If you live in the city and are on a quest to stargaze, you’ll need to get as high as you possibly can (think above the rooftops and cityscape) with a patch of cloudless sky.
Tip #2: Do your research
Once you’ve found the ultimate stargazing location, you’ll need to do some additional research to pick the best night for your galactic date!
Wherever you’ve chosen to stargaze, be sure to check the weather forecast in the area. You’ll want to plan your date on a night with clear cloudless skies to see the most stars.
If you want to level up your stargazing date night with meteor showers, super moons, eclipses, and more, take a look at an
astronomical events calendar
and choose from many celestial events guaranteed to amaze the both of you. Tip #3: Get comfortable
Let’s face it, truck beds are meant for hauling lumber and towing trailers, not plush date nights. These tips will help you get comfortable and transform your truck bed into the ultimate cozy spot:
- Bring snacks. No one wants to get hangry on a date night! Be sure to bring snacks–you can even pack a whole picnic basket. This Woodchip Picnic Basket (Amazon) is big enough to fit a bottle of wine, a baguette, and an assortment of charcuteries—the stinkier the cheese, the better!
Tip #4: Download the best stargazing app
You don’t have to be an astronomer to make the most of your stargazing experience—now you can just download an app! Here are some of the best stargazing apps available:
- Skyview. You can identify planets, constellations, and satellites by pointing theSkyview appdirectly toward the sky.

- Star Tracker. This app canshow you 88 constellations and over 8,000 deep-sky objects in real-time. TheStar Tracker appis your ultimate guide to the universe!
Tip #5: Leave no trace
Make your date night a sustainable one! After you’ve had your fill of stargazing and wrap up your date night, be sure to leave no trace and pack up any trash you may have brought. You can even bring a garbage bag and gloves to pack out any additional trash you find while on your stargazing adventure.
