Next June, stargazers are in for a treat—NASA is spotlighting a rare opportunity to see the Milky Way’s glowing core with the naked eye, thanks to ideal moon phases and dark skies. The galactic center will be visible from dusk till dawn, especially around the new moon, and there’s a bonus: planetary alignments and the summer solstice will add to the celestial show. Whether you’re in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, this is a can’t-miss moment for skywatchers.
Editor’s Note: Events like this don’t come around often—dark skies, cooperative weather, and celestial timing have to align just right. For casual stargazers or hardcore astronomy fans, it’s a chance to connect with the universe in a vivid way, no fancy equipment needed. Plus, in a world glued to screens, it’s a reminder of the awe-inspiring stuff happening right over our heads.
