A visually stunning guide to the most magical stargazing destinations across North America, beginning in your own backyard.
After looking up every single night for a year, travel journalist and photographer Stephanie Vermillion knows what can happen when we slow down, step outside, and pay attention to the sky.
In Under the Stars, she opens up the increasingly popular world of astrotourism with more than 150 ways to experience North America after dark, whether you are stargazing in your own backyard or planning an extraordinary trip around the northern lights, the Milky Way, a meteor shower, or an eclipse.
No telescope, expensive equipment, or astronomy knowledge is required. Stephanie explains how to find dark skies, recognize constellations, choose simple stargazing gear, plan around the moon, and photograph the night sky. Her practical advice is paired with personal stories and her beautiful single-shot photography, all made without stacking or blending multiple images.
Discover unforgettable destinations and experiences, including:
- Stargazing in Death Valley, Zion, Great Sand Dunes, Voyageurs, and many other national parks
- Chasing the aurora borealis in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland
- Visiting observatories and Dark Sky-certified destinations such as Mont-Mégantic and the Oregon Outback
- Sleeping beneath the stars in glass domes, remote cabins, glamping tents, and aurora lodges
- Taking moonlit hikes, stargazing cruises, and bioluminescent kayaking trips
Part travel guide, part stargazing handbook, and part photographic journey, Under the Stars is for campers, hikers, outdoor lovers, photographers, curious travelers, and anyone seeking more mindfulness, connection, and awe. Beautifully produced and richly illustrated, it is a striking book to keep, display, or give to anyone drawn to nature, travel, and the night sky. Above all, it is an invitation to look up and discover how much of the universe is already within reach.
